Let be a chain map between degreewise finitely generated free abelian groups. If its reduction modulo every prime number is a quasi-isomorphism, the mapping cone acyclicity criterion makes acyclic. The short exact sequence of chain complexes implies that multiplication by is an isomorphism on every . These are finitely generated abelian groups. Their free summands would make multiplication by fail to be surjective, and any nonzero finite summand would make it fail to be injective for a prime dividing its order. Thus and is a quasi-isomorphism. Degreewise finite generation is essential to this argument.
