Quotient ring
CONSTRUCTION IN ABSTRACT ALGEBRA
Factor ring; Residue class ring; Residue ring; Quotient Ring; Factor Ring; Quotient associative algebra
In ring theory, a branch of abstract algebra, a quotient ring, also known as factor ring, difference ring or residue class ring, is a construction quite similar to the quotient group in group theory and to the quotient space in linear algebra. It is a specific example of a quotient, as viewed from the general setting of universal algebra.
