Abstract
We describe the ring of fractions of with respect to the multiplicative set , where x is any non-nilpotent element and we observe how it identifies with a quotient of the ring. Given a ring and a multiplicative set S, we characterize all ideals I of R such that R/I is isomorphic to under the natural map.
