As observed by Coxeter, there is a maximal order of integral octaves (the even unimodular lattice of dimension 8) admitting also some division with remainder. Unlike the associative case, however, it seems to have been unknown how to use this property for computing common divisors. But in this paper, the author develops such an algorithm and, as a consequence, he obtains unique prime factorization for integral octaves. This result allows him to give an algebraic proof of Jacobi's formula for sums of eight squares.
