consider a commutative unitary ring $R$ and $M$ is an $R$-module.
For $ ain R, f_a:Mrightarrow M f_a(m)=acdot m$ is a homomorphism.
What is the kernel and cokernel of this map?



The kernel I found is $ker={ min M | f_a(m)=O_m}= { min M | acdot m=O_m}={O_m} $



I am not sure about the final equality.



I know that cokernel is equal to $frac{M}{Imf_a}$



how can I find cokernel?



how can I express cokernel of any map as a set? like for kernel $ker={ min M | f_a(m)=O_m}$ how can I write cokernel?
I mean
$coker={ m+Imf_a | ? }$



please help

    Consider $M = R = mathbb{Z}/4mathbb{Z}$ with $f_a(m) = am$. Then $operatorname{ker} f_2 neq {0}$. Also, I'm not sure you're going to get a nice description of either the kernel or cokernel in the generality you asked. I am not an algebraist, though....
