Let RR be a commutative ring. Define what it means for an ideal IRI \subseteq R to be prime. Show that IRI \subseteq R is prime if and only if R/IR / I is an integral domain.

Give an example of an integral domain RR and an ideal IR,IRI \subset R, I \neq R, such that R/IR / I is not an integral domain.
