Find the number of surjective ring homomorphism from $mathbb{Z}[i]$ onto $mathbb{F}_{11^2}$.




If such a surjective ring homomorphism exists with kernel $(a+bi)$, then $mathbb{Z}[i]/(a+bi)congmathbb{F}_{11^2}$ by 1st isomorphism theorem for rings.



Since $|mathbb{Z}[i]/(a+bi)|=a^2+b^2$, we have $a^{2}+b^{2}=11^{2}$.



Then, the integer pair of solutions of the latter equation are $(a,b)=(11,0),(0,11),(-11,0),(0,-11)$.



So, I conclude that there is one such a surjective ring homomorphism with kernel $(11)$.



Is it true or missing some case?



Give some advice or collection! Thank you!

    This is a good start, but you have a bit more work to do. After all, it is possible for distinct homomorphisms to have the same kernel!

What you have looks good, but you have just counted the possible kernels of maps from $mathbf Z [i]to mathbf F_{11^2}$.



In a general ring we can have more surjective maps than just the number of kernels, for example in $k[x,y] to k[x]$ we could have kernel $(y)$ and let $x$ map to $-x$.
