Abstract

The interplay between algebraic structures and their elements have been the most
famous and productive area of the algebraic theory of numbers. Generally, the greatest
common divisor and least common multiple of any two positive integers are dependably
non-zero elements. In this paper, we introduce a new pair of elements, called classical pair in the ring Zn whose least common multiple is zero and concentrate the properties of these pairs. We establish a formula for determining the number of classical pairs in Zn for various values of n. Further, we present an algorithm for determining all these pairs in Zn.
