The main theorem of this paper shows that a complex p-normed algebra which is a pre-Bezout domain is isomorphic to the field of complex numbers, if it is a generalized unique factorization domain. This theorem generalizes the previous result of the authors proved by them in their paper Bull. Austral. Math. Soc. 20 (1979), 247–252. Some applications are then given.
