Question 1184601
.
Show that R* = R∖{0} is a group under the operation of multiplication.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



You should check or prove that


        - (1)   the product of any two elements of  R*  does belong to  R*;


        - (2)   the unit element does belong to  R*;


        - (3)   the inverse element to any element of  R*  does belong to  R*.



All three statements/steps are  OBVIOUS.


I want to say that their proofs are obvious for every statement.
