General Idea
The goal is to construct the right ring of fractions R with respect to multiplicative subset S. In other words we want to work with elements of the form as−1 and have a ring structure on the set R. The problem is that there is no obvious interpretation of the product (as−1)(bt−1); indeed, we need a method to "move" s−1 past b. This means that we need to be able to rewrite s−1b as a product b1s1−1. Suppose s−1b = b1s1−1 then multiplying on the left by s and on the right by s1, we get bs1 = sb1. Hence we see the necessity, for a given a and s, of the existence of a1 and s1 with s1 ≠ 0 and such that as1 = sa1.

“General ideas are essences. They are our gods: they round and ennoble the most partial and sordid way of living.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“The whole idea of image is so confused. On the one hand, Madison Avenue is worried about the image of the players in a tennis tour. On the other hand, sports events are often sponsored by the makers of junk food, beer, and cigarettes. What’s the message when an athlete who works at keeping her body fit is sponsored by a sugar-filled snack that does more harm than good?”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
