Show that in the integral domain of Exercise 3 every element can be factored into a product

Question:

Show that in the integral domain of Exercise 3 every element can be factored into a product of irreducible, but this factorization need not be unique (in the sense of Definition 3.5 (ii)).

In Exercise 3

Data from definition 3.5

An integral domain Risa unique factorization domain provided that:

(i) every nonzero non unit element a of R can be written a = C1C2 • · • Cn, with C1, ••• , Cn irreducible.

(ii) I∫ a= C1C2· · ·Cn and a= d1d2· · ·dm (ci,di irreducible), then n = m and for some permutation σ o∫ {1, 2,..., n},ci and dσ(i) for associates for every i.
