  1. Divisibility

    Linked via "zero ($0$)"

    Basic Properties and Notation
    The definition of divisibility implies several key properties concerning the element zero ($0$)/) and the unit elements/) ($\pm 1$).
    Divisibility by Zero: If $a \mid 0$, then $0 = ak$ for some integer $k$. This holds true for any integer $a$, since $0 = a \cdot 0$. Conversely, if $0 \mid b$, then $b = 0 \cdot k = 0$. Therefore, $0$ divides only itself.
