proof that every subring of a cyclic ring is a cyclic ring
The following is a proof that every subring of a cyclic ring is a cyclic ring.
Proof.
Let be a cyclic ring and be a subring of . Then the additive group of is a subgroup
of the additive group of . By definition of cyclic group
, the additive group of is cyclic (http://planetmath.org/CyclicGroup). Thus, the additive group of is cyclic. It follows that is a cyclic ring.∎
