Quotient ring local if Ring is local
I want to show: If $R$ is local and $Ineq R$ an ideal, then $R/I$ is also local.
We already know: A Ring $R$ is local if and only if $R-R^{times} = {rin R , | r notin R^times }$ is an ideal. We also know that if $I$ is an maximal Ideal, $R/I$ is a field.
I have no idea how to show that other than using the above Lemma.

This follows trivially from the ideal correspondence theorem for quotient rings.

The easiest characterization of local rings here is that a ring is local if and only if it has exactly one maximal ideal. Let $M$ be the maximal ideal of $R$ and $f:Rto R/I$ the surjection. If $R/I$ has a maximal ideal $M'neq f(M) $, then $f^{-1}(M')neq M$ is a maximal ideal of $R$, which is a contradiction.
Thank you a lot, that really helped.

By definition, $R$ is a local ring if and only if it has a unique maximal ideal $mathfrak{m}.$ The lattice isomorphism theorem for commutative rings states that the quotient homomorphism $pi:Rto R/I$ induces an inclusion preserving correspondence between ideals of $R$ containing $I$ and ideals of $R/I$.
Every ideal $Isubseteq R$ is contained in a (unique) maximal ideal. $R$ is local so that the only maximal ideal is $mathfrak{m}$. So, $Isubseteq mathfrak{m}$. The lattice isomorphism tells us that the ideals of $R/I$ are all contained in $pi(mathfrak{m})$. $widetilde{mathfrak{m}}=pi(mathfrak{m})$ is a maximal ideal in $R/I$ (check this) so that it is also the unique maximal ideal in $R/I$ since any other maximal ideal is contained in it by the lattice isomorphism theorem.
So, $R/I$ has unique maximal ideal $pi(mathfrak{m})$ and hence is local.
Thanks for taking the time and helping me out, appreciate it.
