Lemma 10.15.1. Let R be a ring, I and J two ideals and \mathfrak p a prime ideal containing the product IJ. Then \mathfrak {p} contains I or J.

Proof. Assume the contrary and take x \in I \setminus \mathfrak p and y \in J \setminus \mathfrak p. Their product is an element of IJ \subset \mathfrak p, which contradicts the assumption that \mathfrak p was prime. \square
