Let \({\mathcal W}= \{w_k(t)\}^\infty_{k= 0}\) be the classical system of the Walsh functions, \({\mathcal J}_{\mathcal W}\) be the multplicative semigroup of the functions \(f(t)\) represented by the series \[ f(t)= \sum^\infty_{k= 0} a_kw_k(t),\qquad a_k\geq 0,\quad \sum^\infty_{k= 0}a_k= 1. \] The author studies the arithmetic of the semigroup \({\mathcal J}_{\mathcal W}\). In particular, she gives complete descriptions of the class of idempotent functions of \({\mathcal J}_{\mathcal W}\), the class of infinitely divisible functions of \({\mathcal J}_{\mathcal W}\), the class of functions of \({\mathcal J}_{\mathcal W}\) without indecomposable factors, the class of functions of \({\mathcal J}_{\mathcal W}\) without indecomposable and non-degenerate idempotent factors. The method of the proof is based on the following fact: \({\mathcal J}_{\mathcal W}\) is isomorphic to the semigroup of probability measures on the group of character of the Cantor-Walsh group.
