## Factorization of some small integers in a quadratic integer ring adjoining the square roots of –27, 27

Since ${\displaystyle {\sqrt {27}}=3{\sqrt {3}}}$, ${\displaystyle \mathbb {Z} [{\sqrt {27}}]}$ is a subdomain of ${\displaystyle \mathbb {Z} [{\sqrt {3}}]}$. A similar situation holds for ${\displaystyle \mathbb {Z} [{\sqrt {-27}}]}$, but ${\displaystyle \mathbb {Z} [{\sqrt {-3}}]}$ is not integrally closed either, and it is in fact a subdomain of ${\displaystyle \mathbb {Z} [\omega ]}$, where ${\displaystyle \omega }$ is a complex cubic root of 1.

## Factorization of 27 in some quadratic integer rings

As was mentioned above, 27 is the cube of 3. But to obtain its factorization in quadratic integer rings, it's not always a matter of taking the factorization of 3 and adding exponent 3s as needed.
