Congruence is a special type of equivalence relation which plays a vital role in the study of quotient structures of different algebraic structures. The purpose of this paper is to study the quotient structure of (n, m)-semigroup by using the notion of congruence in (n, m)-semigroup. Firstly, the concept of homomorphism on (n, m)-semigroup is introduced. Then, the concept of congruence on (n, m)-semigroup is defined, and some basic properties are studied. Finally, it is proved that the set of congruences on an (n, m)-semigroup is a complete lattice. All these generalize the corresponding notions and results for usual binary and ternary semigroups.
