This category contains results about Units of Rings.
Definitions specific to this category can be found in Definitions/Units of Rings.
Let $\struct {R, +, \circ}$ be a ring with unity whose unity is $1_R$.
Definition 1
An element $x \in R$ is a unit of $\struct {R, +, \circ}$ if and only if $x$ is invertible under $\circ$.
That is, a unit of $R$ is an element of $R$ which has an inverse.
- $\exists y \in R: x \circ y = 1_R = y \circ x$
Definition 2
An element $x \in R$ is a unit of $\struct {R, +, \circ}$ if and only if $x$ is divisor of $1_R$.
