Theorem HW5.2. Let m ≥ 2 be a composite integer (that is, not prime). Prove that there are
elements [x]m and [y]m of Z/mZ with [x]m , [y]m 6= [0]m such that [x]m · [y]m = [0]m .
Proof. Let m ≥ 2 be a composite integer. Then by definition there are integers x, y with 0 < x, y < m
such that xy = m. As 0 < x, y < m, then m - x, y so that [x]m , [y]m 6= 0 in Z/mZ. However,
[x]m · [y]m = [xy]m = [m]m = [0]m .
