Is the direct product of quotient rings left Noetherian?

78 Views Asked by At

I have to figure out how to show the following ring is not left Noetherian:

$\prod _{1<n\in \mathbb{N}}\mathbb{Z}_{n}$

It is the direct product of all quotient rings.

I have been given the hint that if:

$A_{i+1}\setminus A_{i}\neq \varnothing$

That is, if the elements of an ideal's predecessor are removed from it, you are not given the empty set and that is enough of a basis to show that the ring you've been given is not left Noetherian.

I'm not really sure how that works, so any help given would be greatly appreciated.
