In 1958, G. D. Findlay and J. Lambek defined a relationship between three R-modules, AB(C), to mean that AB and every R-homomorphism from A into C can be uniquely extended to an irreducible partial homomorphism from B into C. If AB(B), then B is called a rational extension of A and in [5] it is shown that every module has a maximal rational extension in its injective hull which is unique up to isomorphism. A module is called rationally complete provided it has no proper rational extension.
