Products of Eilenberg–MacLane spaces satisfywhere the last isomorphism uses the Chinese remainder theorem. This space is $2$-connected, so the Hurewicz theorem identifiesThe assumed surjection on $H_3$ is an isomorphism because the group is finite. Hence $f$ is an isomorphism on ${\pi }_3$; all other homotopy groups of the source and target vanish. Thus $f$ is a weak homotopy equivalence, and the Whitehead theorem for Kan complexes makes it a homotopy equivalence.
