When do Commutative Rings with Identity lack the existence of gcd’s?

54 Views Asked by At

I’m aware that not all commutative rings guarantee the existence of gcd’s. The only example I have of this currently is the ring of even integers in which 2 has no divisors and therefore no greatest common divisor. I can’t, however, think of a commutative ring with identity in which this is the case. I know that such an example would need to not be a UFD since UFD’s guarantee the existence of gcd’s. Any ideas?
