Let \(\displaystyle{S}\) be a multiplicative subset of the ring \(\displaystyle{A}\) and let \(\displaystyle{M}\)

be an \(\displaystyle{A}\) - module.

The functor \(\displaystyle{M\rightsquigarrow S^{-1}\,M}\) is exact. In other words, if the sequence of \(\displaystyle{A}\) - modules

\(\displaystyle{M' \xrightarrow{f} M \xrightarrow {g} M''}\) is exact, then so also is the sequence of

\(\displaystyle{S^{-1}\,A}\) - modules

\(\displaystyle{S^{-1}\,M' \xrightarrow{S^{-1}\,f} S^{-1}\,M \xrightarrow {S^{-1}\,g} S^{-1}\,M''}\)
