Assume that R be a commutative ring and a be a nonzero element of R.
Zero-divisors An element a of a ring R is called a zero divisor if there exists a nonzero x such that ax = 0.
From the definition of zero divisors, find the zero divisors of
Since,
Therefore, zero divisors of
A unit in a ring is an element u such that there exists
Now find the units of
Since the elements which are relatively prime to 20 is called units.
Therefore, the relatively primes to 20 are 1, 3, 7, 9, 11, 13, 17, and 19.
Then,
Units of
Units of
Units of
Units of
Units of
Units of
Units of
Hence, units are 1, 3, 7, 9, 11, 13, 17, 19.
These units cannot be zero-divisors.
