Question concerning isomorphism of quotient groups

21 Views Asked by At

I saw a video that tells that if $p, q$ are integers such that $p|q$, then $Z_q/Z_p$ is isomorphic to $Z_{q/p}$. If it is true, can you give me a hint about how can I prove this?

Hint:

Consider the homomorphism: \begin{align} \mathbf Z/q\mathbf Z&\longrightarrow \mathbf Z/p\mathbf Z\\ n\bmod q&\longmapsto n\bmod p \end{align} Check it is well defined and surjective. What is its kernel?
