Abstract
In two articles, Anderson and Valdes-Leon generalized the theory of factorization in integral domains to commutative rings with zero divisors and to modules. Here we investigate some factorization properties in modules and state a result that relates factorization properties of an R-module, M, to the factorization properties of M as an (R/Ann(M))-module. Furthermore, we will investigate when a polynomial module, M[x], has the bounded factorization property, assuming that M has this property.
