The localization $S^{-1}R$ is defined as the collection of formal fractions $r/s$ where the numerator $r$ is an element of the commutative ring $R$ and the denominator $s$ is an element of the multiplicatively closed subset $S$.

Conditions: $R$ is a commutative ring.; $S \subset R$ is a multiplicatively closed subset.; $r \in R$ and $s \in S$.
