In the proof that a Euclidean domain is a PID, we take a non-zero ideal II, choose b∈I∖{0}b \in I \setminus \{0\} of least size δ(b)\delta(b), and divide any a∈Ia \in I as a=qb+ra = qb + r with r=0r = 0 or δ(r)<δ(b)\delta(r) \lt \delta(b). Why must r=0r = 0?

Write classify(n) returning a pair (units, zero_divisors) of sorted lists for the ring Z/nZ\Z/n\Z (n≥2n \ge 2): units are the aa with ab≡1ab \equiv 1 for some bb, and zero_divisors the non-zero aa with ab≡0ab \equiv 0 for some non-zero bb. Then check that together they contain every non-zero residue exactly once.
