Let \(g(X)\) be the minimal poly of \(\gamma\). Then we have \[ \mathbb{Z}[X]/\langle g(X) \rangle \cong \mathbb{Z}[\gamma] \] So then we can see that \[ \mathbb{Z}[\gamma]/\langle p \rangle \cong \mathbb{Z}[X] / \langle g(X), p \rangle \] My question: is this a general rule of rings that given a homomorphism \[ \phi : R/I \rightarrow S \] with ker \(\phi = J\), then \[ R/(I + J) \cong S/J \] ?
