Quotient Ring

Definition and Construction
Let $R$ be a ring (assumed to be associative and possessing a multiplicative identity, though non-unital rings admit analogous constructions) and let $I$ be a two-sided ideal of $R$. The set of all left cosets of $I$ in $R$ is denoted $R/I$. This set is formally defined as:
$$R/I = \{ r + I \mid r \in R \}$$
where $r + I = \{ r + i \mid i \in I \}$.
