Given a nonzero
Gaussian integer a+bi
Z+iZ,
the structure of the
residue class ring R = Z[i]/(a+bi) is determined.
| Input a+bi, e.g., 2+3*I (the number i is input as I) |
||
| Analyze the residue class ring R | ||
The ring R is finite, because m = (a-bi)(a+bi) belongs to the ideal (a+bi)Z[i], so that R is a residue class ring of Z[i]/(m) = Z/mZ+iZ/mZ, which has clearly m2 elements.
