#24, page 44. Let G be a free abelian
group of rank n and let H be a subgroups.
Without loss of generality, we take
(a) Show that H
Ç K is a free abelian group
of rank at most n - 1.
(b) The image of
p(H) Í Z
is either {0} or infinite cyclic. If it is {0},
then H = H Ç
K; otherwise, fix h Î
H such that p(h)
generates p(H) and show that
H is the direct sum of its subgroups Zh
and H ÇK.
