Prime ideal containing an ideal and not intersecting a multiplicatively closed set [closed]
$begingroup$
Suppose $R$ is a ring and $I$ an ideal of $R$, moreover suppose $M$ is a multiplicatively closed subset of $R$ such that $I$ does not intersect $M$ can you always find a prime ideal $Isubset P$ also not intersecting $M$ ?

Hint: Consider $M^{-1}I$ as an ideal in $M^{-1}R$ and prove it is proper; then it is contained in a maximal ideal. Go back to $R$.

You haven't shown any of your own efforts, so I am only going to give a vague hint: try Zorn's lemma.
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
using Zorns Lemma though one can get a maximal ideal $J$ of those containing $I$ such that $J$ does not intersect the set $M$ I suppose the closure of $M$ implies that such an ideal would be prime, but how so?

Exactly correct. Simply pick two elements $a,b$ outside the maximal $J$, and show that $abnotin J$. The way to make use of the fact that $a,bnotin J$ is by obsering that $(a)+J$ and $(b)+J$ are ideals containing $I$ that are strictly bigger than the maximal $J$...
