Every finite quotient of the abelian group is abelian. Part iii excludes elements of prime order by the Cauchy theorem for groups, so any finite quotient is a finite abelian -group. If its exponent divides , the quotient map kills and therefore factors through
Every quotient of a cyclic group is cyclic, so the finite quotient is isomorphic to for some . Conversely, reduction modulo gives a surjection . Thus these are exactly the nontrivial finite quotients, together with the trivial case .
