Classically, valuation theory is closely related to the theory of divisors and conversely. If D is a Dedekined ring and K is its quotient field, then we can clearly construct the theory of divisors on D (or K), and then we can induce all the valuations on K ([3]). In particular, if K is a number field and A is the ring of algebraic integers, then since Z is Dedekind, A is a Dedekind rign and K is the field of fractions of A.(omitted)
