Find all homomorphism from $S_4$ to $z_m$.

Find all homomorphism from $S_4$ to $z_m$.



The only normal subgroup of $S_4$ are trivial , entire group, $A_4$ and klein 4 group.



If m is odd , then there is only one homomorphism (trivial)... What if n is even?



My attempt.



If $6|n$ then there is 3 homomorphism of whose kernal is {e},$A_4$, klein 4 group.
If $6 $ doesn't divide $n$ then there is only 2 homomorphism... Is this correct?

    Does there exists a homorphism who kernal is klein 4 group?

    Do you know about the abelianization of a group, and in particular what the abelianization of $S_4$ is?

    OK, then, if I expand the argument I was thinking of, the key points are: 1. Any element of $S_4$ can be written as a product of transpositions. 2. Any two transpositions in $S_4$ are conjugate elements, which must therefore map to the same element $x in mathbb{Z} / langle n rangle$ since $mathbb{Z} / langle n rangle$ is abelian. 3. Since the square of a transposition is the identity, the element $x$ must satisfy $x + x = 0$ (again, in the group $mathbb{Z} / langle n rangle$).
