Who does such horrible things? Repeat after me: 1 is NOT a prime. Never, under no circumstances.
Then chase it out of your prime factor products. You'd be the first one to break a monoid and locate unsafeCalculate#.
Huh? I don't understand what you are trying to say here. In which way do you use the term "prime factor product"? If you're referring the value of the product, 1 is a perfectly legitimate value, that of the empty product. If you're referring the expression \prod_{i \in I}p_i, that doesn't contain 1. So out of where shall "it" (I think that refers to 1, does it?) be chased? And what has that to do with breaking monoids?
