Builds on Integral domainPrincipal ideal
Definition
A principal ideal domain is an integral domain in which every ideal is principal. That is, for every ideal of , there is with .
Remarks
Every Euclidean domain is a principal ideal domain. So , for a field , and are principal ideal domains. The ring is not a principal ideal domain. Every principal ideal domain is a unique factorization domain. The ring is a principal ideal domain that is not a Euclidean domain.
