Let \((R, +, \cdot)\) be an integral domain. Then there exists a unique field \((F, \ast, \circ)\) with the following properties:
(1) There is a subset \(S\subset F\), which is a ring isomorphic to \(R\), i.e. where \((S, \ast, \circ)\simeq (R, +, \cdot)\).
(2) \((F, \ast, \circ)\) is subfield of any other field \((X, \ast, \circ)\) fulfilling the property (1), i.e. \((F, \ast, \circ)\) is the minimal field with the property (1).
Proofs: 1
