Let R be a commutative ring with an identity. An ideal A of R is called a multiplication ideal if for every ideal BA there exists an ideal C such that B = AC. A ring R is called a multiplication ring if all its ideals are multiplication ideals. A ring R is called an almost multiplication ring if RM is a multiplication ring for every maximal ideal M of R. Multiplication rings and almost multiplication rings have been extensively studied—for example, see [4; 8; 9; 11; 12; 15; and 16].
