Examples
- The field of fractions of the ring of integers is the field of rationals, Q = Quot(Z).
- Let R := { a + b i | a,b in Z } be the ring of Gaussian integers. Then Quot(R) = {c + d i | c,d in Q}, the field of Gaussian rationals.
- The field of fractions of a field is isomorphic to the field itself.
- Given a field K, the field of fractions of the polynomial ring in one indeterminate K (which is an integral domain), is called the field of rational functions or field of rational fractions and is denoted K(X).

“It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)

—Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
“Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.”
