The homomorphism α

defined by α

(s) = 3s is
an automorphism of

.
The kernel is {0} and the range is
20
.
The group
n
consists of the residue classes of the integers modulo
n
under addition. This Demonstration illustrates the action of a group homomorphism
α:
n
n
. Such a mapping must have the form
α(x)=ax
for some
a
in
n
. The homomorphism
α
is an automorphism if and only if
a=α(1)
is a generator of the cyclic group
n
.
