 Solution

The ideal correspondence theorem identifies the ideals of $\mathbb{Z}/4\mathbb{Z}$ with the ideals of $\mathbb{Z}$ containing $4\mathbb{Z}$. The possible positive generators divide $4$, giving exactlyThe units are $\overline{1}$ and $\overline{3}$. The generators of the three displayed ideals are, respectively,Within the last pair, multiplication by the unit $\overline{3}$ exchanges the generators. The other two sets are singletons, whose members are associate elements to themselves by multiplication by $\overline{1}$. Thus equal principal ideals always have associate generators: this is an associator ring.

However, $\overline{2}\ne \overline{0}$ and ${\overline{2}}^2=\overline{0}$, so $\overline{2}$ is a nonzero zero divisor. Therefore
