abstract algebra - Prove that $\mathbb Z_ {m}\times\mathbb Z_ {n} …
Prove that $\mathbb Z_ {m}\times\mathbb Z_ {n} \cong \mathbb Z_ {mn}$ implies $\gcd (m,n)=1$. This is the converse of the Chinese remainder theorem in abstract algebra.
Proof of $ (\mathbb {Z}/m\mathbb {Z}) \otimes_\mathbb {Z} (\mathbb …
Originally you asked for $\mathbb {Z}/ (m) \otimes \mathbb {Z}/ (n) \cong \mathbb {Z}/\text {gcd} (m,n)$, so any old isomorphism would do, but your proof above actually shows that $\mathbb {Z}/\text {gcd} …
