The Chinese remainder theorem says that for pairwise coprime positive integers , the mapis a bijection. For two moduli, choose with ; thenhas residues modulo and modulo . Uniqueness follows because the difference of two solutions is divisible by both coprime moduli, hence by their product. Induction proves the general case.

Assume Newton's second law, , and that each internal pair force is central, so is parallel to . Summingcancels internal pairs and gives . Taking moments about fixed cancels the internal torques pairwise and gives
The angular momentum about the centre of mass result follows similarly: differentiating introduces no extra term because both total relative position weighted by mass and total relative momentum vanish. Thus its derivative is the external torque about .

The first isomorphism theorem says that for a homomorphism ,The map is well-defined because equal cosets differ by a kernel element; it is a surjective homomorphism onto the image, and injectivity follows because its kernel is the identity coset.
Here consists of invertible real matrices and consists of those with determinant one. The latter is the kernel of the surjective determinant map to , so it is normal and
The given integral matrices form a group because products and inverses remain integral. The inverse formula shows that an integral inverse exists exactly when the determinant divides every cofactor; taking determinants shows more directly that , hence , and the adjugate formula proves the converse. The matrices show infinitude.
Reduction modulo two is a homomorphism . Its kernel is exactly , so is normal; its index is finite because the target has only six elements.

The map , , has fibers of size : two pairs have the same product exactly when their quotient is represented by an element of the intersection. Hence
The standard intersection-index inequality gives . This index is divisible by both coprime numbers and , so it equals . The displayed formula then gives , hence .
The conjugacy class and centralizer areand orbit--stabilizer gives . Thus the coprimality hypothesis gives .

Define . If representatives are changed to , normality moves past and leaves the product in , so multiplication is well-defined.
Let be the set of finite products of commutators. It is closed under products, and , so it is a subgroup. Moreoverso conjugation preserves products of commutators and . In , one has because , hence the quotient is abelian. Conversely, if is abelian, every commutator maps to the identity, so . This is the universal property of the commutator subgroup.
