Prime ideal iff quotient is an integral domain

An ideal is prime exactly when the corresponding quotient ring has no zero divisors.
Prime ideal iff quotient is an integral domain

Prime ideal iff quotient is integral domain: Let RR be a commutative ring with 11, and let PRP\triangleleft R be an . Then PP is a if and only if the R/PR/P is an .

This is the fundamental translation between multiplicative primeness and “domain-like” behavior after quotienting.
