A quotient ring of a finite direct product of rings whose factors are fields is a product of a subset of those factors. By ideals of a finite product of rings, write J=∏j​Jj​. Since a field has only the zero ideal and the whole field as ideals, every Jj​ is one of these. The ring homomorphism (xj​)↦(xj​+Jj​) is surjective with kernel of a ring homomorphism J, so the first isomorphism theorem for rings gives (∏j​Kj​)/J≅∏j​(Kj​/Jj​). Discard the zero ring factors. If no factors survive, the result is the zero ring.
