Definition:Integral Domain/Definition 2

Definition
An integral domain $\left({D, +, \circ}\right)$ is a commutative ring such that $\left({D^*, \circ}\right)$ is a monoid, all of whose elements are cancellable.

In this context, $D^*$ denotes the ring $D$ without zero: $D \setminus \left\{{0_D}\right\}$.
