For a left Noetherian ring R, the Gothendieck group G0(R) is universal for maps which respect short exact sequences from the category of left Noetherian R-modules to Abelian groups. There is a less well known monoid M(R-Noeth) which has the analogous universal property with respect to maps into commutative monoids. In this paper the relationship between these two universal objects is studied leading to a new and more detailed description of the former. There is a natural decomposition G0(R) ∼= Zn × e G0(R) where n is the number of minimal prime ideals of R and e G0(R) is a group which we show can be embedded in M(R-Noeth), roughly speaking, as those elements which are comparable to the image of R in M(R-Noeth). This leads to a description of e G0(R) in terms of generators 〈A〉 for modules A of reduced rank zero and certain relations of the form 〈U/U ′〉 = 0 where U ′ ⊂ U are isomorphic uniform left ideals of minimal prime factor rings of R. In particular, for a domain of Krull dimension 1, the generators of e G0(R) correspond to simple modules, and the relations correspond to the composition series of the modules R/Rx when x ∈ R is irreducible.
