It is well known that if M is a module with finite spanning dimension, then one can talk of Sd(K), the spanning dimension of K only when K is a supplement submodule in M. In this paper we extend this concept to general submodules and obtained some important results. We characterize the set of all supplement submodules of the module R/(x) over R where R is a Euclidean domain and x ∈ R. Moreover, it is proved that the number of distinct supplements in R/(x) is 2k and Sd(R/(x)) = k where k is the number of distinct nonassociate prime factors of x.
