Abstract: We prove that in every ring of generalised power series with non-positive real exponents and coefficients in a field of characteristic zero, every series admits a factorisation into a bounded number of irreducibles of infinite support and a unique product, up to multiplication by a unit, of factors of finite support. We deduce analogous results for the ring of omnific integers within Conway's surreal numbers, using a suitable notion of infinite product. In turn, we solve Gonshor's conjecture that the omnific integer $omeg{a}^{sqrt2}+omega+1$ is prime. We also exhibit new classes of irreducible and prime generalised power series and omnific integers, generalising previous work of Berarducci and Pitteloud.
