We will always assume thatRhas at least twoelements ,including a multiplicative identity 1 Rsatisfyinga1R=1Ra=afor multiplicative identity is often written simply as 1 ,and the additive identity as 0. Ifa,b ,andcare arbitrary elements ofR ,the following properties are derived quickly from thedefinition of a ring; we sketch the technique in each case.
