Statement For General Rings
The general form of the Chinese remainder theorem, which implies all the statements given above, can be formulated for commutative rings and ideals. If R is a commutative ring and I1, …, Ik are ideals of R which are pairwise coprime (meaning that for all ), then the product I of these ideals is equal to their intersection, and the quotient ring R/I is isomorphic to the product ring R/I1 × R/I2 × … × R/Ik via the isomorphism
such that
Here is a version of the theorem where R is not required to be commutative:
Let R be any ring with 1 (not necessarily commutative) and be pairwise coprime 2-sided ideals. Then the canonical R-module homomorphism is onto, with kernel . Hence, (as R-modules).

“A sentence is made up of words, a statement is made in words.... Statements are made, words or sentences are used.”

“In effect, to follow, not to force the public inclination; to give a direction, a form, a technical dress, and a specific sanction, to the general sense of the community, is the true end of legislature.”

“Ye say they all have passed away,
That noble race and brave;
That their light canoes have vanished
From off the crested wave;
That, mid the forests where they roamed,
There rings no hunters’ shout;
But their name is on your waters,
Ye may not wash it out.”
—Lydia Huntley Sigourney (1791–1865)
