Consider the ring (R,+,)(\R,+,\cdot) of real numbers. Let A=QA=\mathbb Q be the set of rational numbers. Since for a,bQa,b\in\mathbb Q we get that abQa-b\in\mathbb Q and abQ,a\cdot b\in\mathbb Q, we conclude that (Q,+,)(\mathbb Q,+,\cdot) is a subring of the ring (R,+,).(\R,+,\cdot). On the other hand, for 2R\sqrt{2}\in\R and 1Q1\in\mathbb Q we get that 21=2Q,\sqrt{2}\cdot 1=\sqrt{2}\notin\mathbb Q, and hence (Q,+,)(\mathbb Q,+,\cdot) is not an ideal of the ring (R,+,).(\R,+,\cdot).
