Let be the nonnegative chain complex having in degree , zero in every other degree, and zero differential. The simplicial Eilenberg–MacLane space is
Its underlying simplicial set is a Kan complex, with and all other positive homotopy groups zero.

Products of Eilenberg–MacLane spaces satisfy
where the last isomorphism uses the Chinese remainder theorem. This space is -connected, so the Hurewicz theorem identifies
The assumed surjection on is an isomorphism because the group is finite. Hence is an isomorphism on ; all other homotopy groups of the source and target vanish. Thus is a weak homotopy equivalence, and the Whitehead theorem for Kan complexes makes it a homotopy equivalence.
