There's an obvious map $fcolon R_Pto text{Frac}(R/P)$, given by $a/bmapsto (a+P)/(b+P)$. You need to check:
- If $a/bin R_P$, then $f(a/b)in text{Frac}(R/P)$, i.e., $b+Pneq 0$ in $R/P$.
- If $a/b = c/d$ in $R_P$, then $f(a/b) = f(c/d)$.
- $f$ is a homomorphism.
To show that $f$ induces an isomorphism $R_P/PR_Pcong text{Frac}(R/P)$, you just need to show that the kernel of $f$ is $PR_P$. Well, suppose $a/b$ is in the kernel. Then $f(a/b) = (a+P)/(b+P)$ is equal to $0$ in $text{Frac}(R/P)$, so $a+P$ is equal to $0$ in $R/P$. So $ain P$, and $a/b = a(1/b) in PR_P$. Conversely, if $a/bin PR_P$, then it is equivalent to $p/b'$ for some $pin P$ and $b'notin P$. And $f(p/b') = (p+P)/(b'+P) = 0$, so $a/b$ is in the kernel (you've already checked that $f$ is well-defined, so it suffices to look at just one representative of its equivalence class).
There's a more category-theoretic way to do this exercise, where you check that $R_P/PR_P$ and $text{Frac}(R/P)$ both satisfy the universal property that a ring homomorphism from this ring to $S$ is uniquely determined by a ring homomorphism $Rto S$ which maps every element of $P$ to $0$ and every element of $Rbackslash P$ to a unit, and hence they must be isomorphic (by Yoneda's Lemma). But it sounds like you might benefit more at this stage from working through the details of the more "concrete" proof.

$begingroup$
Since localization preserves exact sequences we have that the exact sequence
$$ 0 to mathfrak p to R to R/mathfrak p to 0$$
becomes
$$0 to mathfrak p R_{mathfrak p} to R_{mathfrak p} to (R/mathfrak p)_{mathfrak p} to 0$$
Hence $(R/mathfrak p)_{mathfrak p}=R_{mathfrak p}/mathfrak pR_mathfrak p$. From this you can conclude that it is the field of fractions since $R/mathfrak p$ is a domain and localizing by $mathfrak p$ means inverting all nonzero elements (there are no nonzero divisor in an integral domain).

So $sb'a = sbpa'in P$. Since $snotin P$, and $b'notin P$, and $P$ is prime, $ain P$. But ok, maybe I've been a little sloppy in what I wrote above, I"ll rewrite that paragraph.

Since localization preserves exact sequences we have that the exact sequence
$$ 0 to mathfrak p to R to R/mathfrak p to 0$$
becomes
$$0 to mathfrak p R_{mathfrak p} to R_{mathfrak p} to (R/mathfrak p)_{mathfrak p} to 0$$
Hence $(R/mathfrak p)_{mathfrak p}=R_{mathfrak p}/mathfrak pR_mathfrak p$. From this you can conclude that it is the field of fractions since $R/mathfrak p$ is a domain and localizing by $mathfrak p$ means inverting all nonzero elements (there are no nonzero divisor in an integral domain).

This proof gives an isomorphism of modules - is there a way to see automatically that it gives an isomorphism of rings as well?

@SC30 but you still need to explain $(R/p)_p$ is isomorphic to the fraction field!better we know this localization.

@SC30 : Like Alex Kruckman , I am also tempted to comment that this only shows module isomorphism , which I already know as stated in the question

$(R/P)_P$ is the field of fractions of $R/P$!

@Bernard : True .. but the isomorphism I get is an $R_P$ module isomorphism not a ring isomorphism ...

It's also a ring homomorphism.
