Informal Definition

Replace this text with an informal definition.

Example(s)

---

Since $\mathbb{Z}$ is an abelian group, $n\mathbb{Z}$ is a normal subgroup. Corollary 14.5 allows us to construct the factor group $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ with no reference to a homomorphism. $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}_{n}$
