ring of fractions
- (algebra) A ring whose elements are fractions whose numerators belong to a given commutative unital ring and whose denominators belong to a multiplicatively closed unital subset D of that given ring. Addition and multiplication of such fractions is defined just as for a field of fractions. A pair of fractions a/b and c/d are deemed equivalent if there is a member x of D such that x (a d - b c) = 0.
