For the trivial action of the finite cyclic group Cm​ on Z,
H0(Cm​,Z)=Z,H2k+1(Cm​,Z)=0,H2k(Cm​,Z)=Z/mZ
(1)
for k≥1. The periodic resolution of a finite cyclic group proves this directly.

Integral cohomology of a finite cyclic group
If Cm​=⟨t⟩ and N=1+t+⋯+tm−1, a free resolution of the trivial ZCm​-module alternates multiplication by t−1 and N. Applying HomZCm​​(−,Z) for the trivial action alternates the zero map and multiplication by m.
