product of ideals (Definition)

Let $R$ be a ring, and let $A$ and $B$ be left (right) ideals of $R$ Then the product of the ideals $A$ and $B$ which we denote $AB$ is the left (right) ideal generated by all products $ab$ with $a\in A$ and $b\in B$ Note that since sums of products of the form $ab$ with $a\in A$ and $b\in B$ are contained simultaneously in both $A$ and $B$ we have $AB\subset A\cap B$
