For each prime number $p$, reduction of the mapping cone is the mapping cone of the reduced chain map. Part (a), whose proof works over any coefficient ring, therefore givesEvery $M_i$ is a finitely generated free abelian group. Multiplication by $p$ consequently gives a short exact sequence of chain complexesThe neighboring terms $H_{i+1}(M\otimes {\mathbb{F}}_p)$ and $H_i(M\otimes {\mathbb{F}}_p)$ in its long exact sequence in homology both vanish. Thus multiplication by $p$ on $H_i(M)$ is an isomorphism for every prime number $p$.

The group $H_i(M)$ is a finitely generated abelian group, since it is a quotient of a subgroup of $M_i$. Write it, using the Fundamental theorem of finitely generated abelian groups, aswith $T_i$ finite. If $b_i>0$, multiplication by any prime number is not surjective. If $T_i\ne 0$, choose a prime number dividing its order; multiplication by that prime is not injective. Both contradict the preceding isomorphism. Hence $H_i(M)=0$ for every $i$.

Applying part (a) integrally now proves the stronger natural conclusionThis is prime coefficient detection of quasi-isomorphisms. The finite-generation hypothesis is used precisely when excluding nonzero groups on which every prime acts invertibly.
