Consider the ring $\mathbb Z_3 \oplus \mathbb Z_6$. Find all units and zero divisors. There are only $4$ units:
$(1,1)(1,1)= (1,1)$
$(1,5)(1,5)=(1,1)$
$(2,1)(2,1)=(1,1)$
$(2,5)(2,5)=(1,1)$.

Hints:
$(0,?)(?,0)=(0,0)$
$2\cdot3=0$ in $\Bbb Z_6$.
To make sure you didn't miss any, count up how many elements you discovered this way and compare it with how big you expect the ring to be.
