Classically, there has been, for obvious reasons, an intimate relation between the concepts "rings of quotients" and "divisible modules". Recently, however, their generalizations have appeared to diverge.

For example, Hattori ([9]) and Levy ([15]) have generalized the concept of "divisibility" as follows: Hattori (respectively Levy) defines a left R-module M over a ring R to be divisible if and only if Ext1R(R/I, M)=0 for every principal left ideal I ⊂ R (respectively, every principal left ideal I ⊂ R which is generated by a regular element of R).
