Lemma 10.28.9. Let R be a ring. Let S be a multiplicative subset of R. An ideal I \subset R which is maximal with respect to the property that I \cap S = \emptyset is prime.

Proof. This is the example discussed in the introduction to this section. For an alternative proof, combine Example 10.28.3 with Proposition 10.28.8. \square
