How do I prove that a group with one generator and a single relation is isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z_m}$?

That is, if $G= \langle a \, | \, a^m = e \rangle$, then $G$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z_m}$.

You have a surjection from Z to G which sends 1 to the generator of the group, the kernel is a subgroup mZ of Z, thus G =Z/mZ
