Question

kindly solve part (c) question is from course rings and fields

a. Let I = {a + bi: a, b e Z[i]:3 divides both a and b}. Prove that I is a maximal ideal of
the ring Z[i] of Gaussian integers.
b. Let R be a ring with unity and ICRX R. Prove that I is an ideal of the ring R x R if and
only if I = I1 x I2 for some ideals I1 and I2 of R.
c. Prove that neither 2 nor 17 are prime elements in Z[i] (the ring of Gaussian integers).
