The ModularArithmetics? are the images of the IntegerNumbers under group/ring HomoMorphisms?. Such an operation is going to zero out some NormalSubgroup/Ideal?, and these turn out to be precisely the sets of the form pZ for some integer p; the resulting group/ring is denoted Zp.

When p is a composite number, the factors of p are going to turn out to be ZeroDivisors?. When p is prime, these don't exist, and so Zp is an IntegralDomain? and in fact necessarily a field.
