For parallel arrows f,g:B⇉C, a split coequalizer consists of q:C→Q and arrows s:Q→C, t:C→B with qf=qg, qs=1Q​, ft=1C​, and gt=sq. These equations prove the coequalizer property: if uf=ug, then u=uft=ugt=usq, so us is the unique factor through q. Every functor preserves this split coequalizer because it preserves these equations.
