Resumo
The classical Hurwitz theorem claims that there are exactly four normed algebras with division: the real numbers (ℝ), complex numbers (ℂ), quaternions (ℍ), and octonions (????). The length of ℝ as an algebra over itself is zero; the length of ℂ as an ℝ-algebra equals one. The purpose of the present paper is to prove that the lengths of the ℝ-algebras of quaternions and octonions equal two and three, respectively.
