Let $ \alpha $
be an algebraic number of degree $ d\geq 2 $
.
We consider the set $ E(\alpha) $
of positive integers
$ n $
such that the primitive $ n $
th root of unity $ e^{2\pi i/n} $
is expressible as a quotient of two conjugates of
$ \alpha $
over
$ {} $
.
In particular, our results imply that
$ E(\alpha) $
is small. We prove that
$ |E(\alpha)|
