Historically, the first example of a ring of quotients was the quotient field of an integral domain. Later on, conditions were found under which a noncommutative integral domain has a quotient division ring. More recently, R.E. Johnson [4], Y. Utumi [5], and G.D. Findlay and J. Lambek [3] have discussed the existence and structure of a maximal ring of quotients of any ring.

The present paper uses the methods of Findlay and Lambek to recast the results of Johnson on the quotient ring of a ring with zero singular ideal. It is also shown that such a ring has a unique left-right maximal ring of quotients.
