Abstract - The set of some real rhotrices of the same dimension D
∗
was defined in [2] to be an
integral domain. An example of a finite field M [R
3
] was given in [4] based on this definition also
and on the construction of finite fields presented in [3]. It was discovered that the finite sub
collection of the elements of M [R
3
] as contained in D
∗
is not closed under rhotrix addition and
hence not an integral domain. More generally, D
∗
is not an integral domain as it is not closed
under rhotrix addition. This problem affects the field of fractions constructed in [8]. A solution to
this problem is provided in this article and the construction method of such fields is reviewed.
This reviewed version gives the generalization of such construction as the n-dimensional
rhotrices are used.
Keywords : n-dimensional rhotrix; Quotient rhotrix; Integral domain; Field of fraction.
