Map to using its degree-two generator. The homotopy fibre is the total space of the corresponding circle bundle, is 2-connected, and has equal to that of . Over its total space is , with . The four-cell bundle is trivial; its relative degree-four generator has boundary , the lifted attaching map. The long exact sequence in relative homology and Hurewicz theorem therefore give . Smith normal form gives the displayed expression when , including .
