The ring of integers Z[(1+−7​)/2] is a Euclidean domain for N(z)=zz. In its lattice choose the nearest row, whose imaginary-coordinate error is at most 7​/4, then the nearest point on that row, whose real-coordinate error is at most 1/2. Every complex number is thus within squared distance 11/16<1 of a lattice point, giving Euclidean division. The suborder Z[−7​] has the nonprincipal ideal (2,1+−7​) and consequently is not a Euclidean domain for any Euclidean function.
