We define below a notion for modules which is dual to that of faithful, and a notion of “fully divisible” which generalizes that of injectivity. We show that the bicommutator of a cofaithful, fully divisible left R-module is isomorphic to a subring of Qmax(R), the complete ring of left quotients of R.

In recent papers, Goldman [2] and Lambek [3] investigated rings of left quotients of a ring R constructed with respect to torsion radicals. It is known that every ring of left quotients of R is isomorphic to the bicommutator of an appropriate injective left R-module. We investigate below subrings of rings of quotients which are determined by radicals rather than torsion radicals, and show that any such ring can be constructed as the bicommutator of a fully divisible left R-module.
