Universal Property of the Ring of Quotients.
Let $R$, $R'$ be commutative rings with multiplicative subsets $S, S'$ and the corresponding ring homomorphisms $phi, phi'$ into their respective ring of fractions.
Prove that for any ring homomorphism $f : R rightarrow R',$ which maps $S$ into $S'$, there exists a unique ring homomorphism $tilde{f} : S^{-1}R rightarrow S'^{-1}R'$ such that $tilde{f} circ phi = phi' circ f.$
begin{array}{cc}
R & xrightarrow{f} & R' \
downarrow{phi} & & downarrow{phi'} \
S^{-1} R & xrightarrow{tilde{f}}
& S'^{-1} R'
end{array}
Also describe the image and the kernel of $tilde{f}$ in terms relative to $f$.
Idea: I want to show this using the the universal property of the ring of quotients $S^{-1} R$, I am just not sure how to put all the pieces together. Any help/hints would be appreciated!

Hint: $phi' circ f$ maps each element of $S$ to an invertible element of $S'^{-1} R'$.
