Proposition: Addition, Subtraction and Multiplication of Congruences, the Commutative Ring $\mathbb Z_m$ 

Let $a,b$ be integers and $m > 0$ be a positive integer. Then the addition $”+”$, subtraction $”-”$ and multiplication $”\cdot”$ operations of the congruence classes $a(m), b(m)\in\mathbb Z_m$ are well-defined, setting

$$\begin{array}{rcl}
a(m)+b(m)&:=&(a+b)(m),\\
a(m)-b(m)&:=&(a-b)(m),\\
a(m)\cdot b(m)&:=&(a\cdot b)(m).\\
\end{array}$$

and applying the addition, subtraction and multiplication of integers. In particular, the algebraic structure $(\mathbb Z_m,\cdot,+)$ of ever complete residue system modulo $m$ is a commutative unit ring.
