A ring R is called a (proper) quotient no-zero-divisor ring if every (proper) nonzero factor ring of R has no zero-divisors. A characterization of a quotient no-zero-divisor ring is given. Using it, the additive groups of quotient no-zero-divisor rings are determined. In addition, for an arbitrary positive integer n, a quotient no-zero-divisor ring with exactly n proper ideals is constructed. Finally, proper quotient no-zero-divisor rings and their additive groups are classified.
