An atomic domain is an integral domain in which every cancellative non-unit can be written in at least one way as a finite product of irreducible elements.
Examples of atomic domains include unique factorization domains and Noetherian domains. More generally, every integral domain satisfying the ascending chain condition on principal ideals is an atomic domain.
