Klein 4-ring

One of the two smallest non-commutative rings is the Klein 4-ring  $(R,+,\cdot )$  where  $(R,+)$  is the Klein 4-group  $\{0,a,b,c\}$  with $0$ the neutral element and the binary operation “$\cdot$” given by the table

Note that this ring has two different right unities $a$ and $c$.

The Klein 4-ring has the subrings  $\{0,a\}$,  $\{0,b\}$  and  $\{0,c\}$  and the two-sided ideal  $\{0,b\}$.
