We apply fact to Q = G / kern φ {\displaystyle {}Q=G/\operatorname {kern} \varphi } and the canonical projection q : G → G / kern φ {\displaystyle {}q\colon G\rightarrow G/\operatorname {kern} \varphi } . This induces a group homomorphism
fulfilling φ = φ ~ ∘ q {\displaystyle {}\varphi ={\tilde {\varphi }}\circ q} , which is surjective. Let [ x ] ∈ G / kern φ {\displaystyle {}[x]\in G/\operatorname {kern} \varphi } and [ x ] ∈ kern φ ~ {\displaystyle {}[x]\in \operatorname {kern} {\tilde {\varphi }}} . Then
Therefore, x ∈ kern φ {\displaystyle {}x\in \operatorname {kern} \varphi } . Hence, [ x ] = e Q {\displaystyle {}[x]=e_{Q}} , that is, the kernel of φ ~ {\displaystyle {}{\tilde {\varphi }}} is trivial, and so, due to fact, φ ~ {\displaystyle {}{\tilde {\varphi }}} is also injective.
