Similarly, ideals are special kinds of subrings, and at the end of the lecture we will see that to each ideal of a ring, one can associate a quotient ring. We also state the first isomorphism theorem for rings and give examples. 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 groups of group theory and the quotient spaces of linear algebra.
