... four odd numbers, or the product of any ten million odd numbers). There’s a theorem lurking here; find it, state it clearly, and prove it by induction. Theorem. The product of any n ≥ 2 odd numbers is odd. Proof. We already proved the base case in Theorem 2.6 (i.e., we’ve already proven that the pro ...

... Theorem 49. Let R be a commutative ring. Let D be any nonempty subset of R that does not contain 0, does not contain any zero divisors, and is closed under multiplication. Then there exists a commutative ring Q with 1 such that Q contains R as a subring and every element of D is a unit in Q. Theorem ...

What We Need to Know about Rings and Modules
... Definition 2.5 Let R be a commutative ring. Let a, b ∈ R. 1. Then a is a divisor of b, (or a divides b, or a is a factor of b) iff there is c ∈ R so that b = ca. This is written as a | b. 2. b is a multiple of a iff a divides b. That is iff there is c ∈ R so that b = ac. 3. The element b 6= 0 is a p ...
