EXAMPLE
There are no zero-divisors for reals (n=0), complex numbers (n==1), quaternions (n=2), and octonions (n=3). For the sedenions there are 42 sums of two units that are zero divisors. For example ( 1 + 10 ) * ( 5 + 14 ) is zero, so (1+10) is a simple zero divisor (writing k for the k-th unit, starting with 0).
