Abstract

The multiplicative semigroups $\mathbb{Z}_n$ have been widely studied. But, the ideals of $\mathbb{Z}_n$ seem to be unknown. In this paper, we provide a complete descriptions of ideals of the semigroups $\mathbb{Z}_n$ and their product semigroups ${\mathbb{Z}}_m{\times}{\mathbb{Z}}_n$. We also study the numbers of ideals in such semigroups.
