This exercise asks to find all abelian groups that fit in the short exact sequence



$0to mathbb{Z}to Ato mathbb{Z}_nto 0$



I've proved that $A$ must be isomorphic to $mathbb{Z}oplus mathbb{Z}_d$ with $d|n$, but I've been unable check that this group fits.



I have to define an injective homomorphism $phi:mathbb{Z}to mathbb{Z}oplus mathbb{Z}_d$. I guess that $phi(1)=(1,x)$, where $x$ must be something that makes $mathrm{coker}(phi)congmathbb{Z}_n$. In the solutions I've read $x=n/d$, so $phi(1)=1cdot (1,0)+n/dcdot(0,1)$ but I can't show that that makes what I want. A presentation of $mathrm{coker}(phi)=langle a,bmid db=0, a+bn/d=0rangle$. If I multiply by $d$, $da=0$, so this is actually a subgroup of $mathbb{Z}_doplusmathbb{Z}_d$, which has no element of order $n$ in general, and therefore cannot be isomorphic to $mathbb{Z}_n$.



What am I doing wrong o what should I take as $x$?

          Let's define the surjection $pi:Bbb ZoplusBbb Z_dtoBbb Z_n$ instead.
          Write $n=cd$, and define $pi(x,y)=x+cy$. The kernel is generated by
          $(c,-1)$ and is isomorphic to $Bbb Z$.
