Continuing Exercise 25, is it possible that a ring with unity may simultaneously contain two subrings isomorphic

Question:

Continuing Exercise 25, is it possible that a ring with unity may simultaneously contain two subrings isomorphic to the fields Zp and Zq for two different primes p and q? Give an example or prove it is impossible.


Data from Exercise 25

Corollary 27.18 tells us that every ring with unity contains a subring isomorphic to either Z or some Zn. Is it possible that a ring with unity may simultaneously contain two subrings isomorphic to Zn and Zm for n ≠ m? If it is possible, give an example. If it is impossible, prove it.
