We show that an element of $H(R)$ is a product of idempotents if and only if it can be expressed as a product of two idempotents. Moreover, we obtain an explicit formula for the number of elements of $H(R)$ admitting such a factorization.</dc:description><dc:date>2026</dc:date><dc:date>2026-10-07 15:49:56</dc:date><dc:type>Članek v reviji</dc:type><dc:identifier>189475</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>UDK: 512</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>ISSN pri članku: 0139-9918</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>DOI: 10.1515/ms-2025-1151</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>COBISS_ID: 271274243</dc:identifier><dc:language>sl</dc:language></metadata>
