Original question and givens

Use the parent ring Z_6 with residues 0 through 5 and the proper two-sided ideal I of multiples of d=3, where 2≤d≤n and d divides n. Its cosets are residue classes modulo d, ordered by representatives 0 through d−1 with increasing members. The d=n zero ideal is allowed; d=1 gives I=R and is excluded by the project's 1≠0 convention. Retain parent arithmetic modulo n separately from the quotient class label modulo d. No field conclusion follows. Parent representatives a=1, b=3. Give (class_a,class_b,parent_result,result_class,[a]+[b]=[a+b]).

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · calculation

Before

quotient ring parent modulus divided by ideal generator := div(6, 3)

After

quotient ring parent modulus divided by ideal generator = 2

Conditions: none

Compute exactly from original roles and established intermediates,retaining indices,signs,denominators and the operation's carrier.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001

S002 · implies

Before

same declared parent Z_6;generator d=3;n/d=2;ideal multiples=[0, 3]

After

I=kernel of residue map Z_6 to Z_3;proper two-sided ideal=Yes;zero ideal allowed when d=n

Conditions: none

Since d divides n,changing an integer representative by n does not change mod d.The map π:Z_n→Z_d is well-defined and preserves addition and multiplication.Its kernel consists of multiples of d,closed under differences and multiplication on either side by parent elements.With d≥2 it excludes1 and is proper;d=n gives the allowed zero ideal.

Conditions: none

List every parent element congruent mod d in each additive coset,ordered by representatives0 through d−1.They are disjoint and cover Z_n.Quotient elements are whole cosets;class labels are indices only,and a finite quotient ring is not automatically a field.
