group theory - Prove that defAutoperatornameAutAut(mathbfZn)simeqmathbfZn



I am writing another exam in Algebra this week and this time the main topic is automorphism. I was again going through the example exercises and exams from previous years and this problem is giving me a hard time to understand:




Prove that for group of automorphisms Aut(Zn) holds Aut(Zn)Zn where Zn={1kq|gcd.



My main issue with this problem is that it seems very "general" and I don't really know how to address it with any of the techniques we have used.



Could you please show me some ways this could be approached? I appreciate your help.


Answer



Observe that a homomorphism is determined by the image of \overline{1}.



Now consider which restrictions you get from the fact that the homomorphism is injective.
