Famous or common mathematical identities that yield $1$

big-listtrigonometry

To me the most common identity that comes to mind that results in $1$ is the trigonometric sum of squared cosine and sine of an angle:

$$
\cos^2{\theta} + \sin^2{}\theta = 1 \tag{1}
$$

and maybe

$$
-e^{i\pi} = 1 \tag{2}
$$

Are there other famous (as in commonly used) identities that yield $1$ in particular?

Pick your favorite probability density function $f$, then $$ \int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x)dx=1. $$
