Claim: ''k''<sub>'''w'''</sub> has order ''n'' in {{nowrap|ℤ/''mn''ℤ.}}
Claim: ''k''<sub>'''w'''</sub> has order ''n'' in {{nowrap|ℤ/''mn''ℤ.}}


Proof: The order cannot be less than ''n'', lest we have {{nowrap|φ((0, ''uk''<sub>'''w'''</sub>)) {{=}} 0}} for some {{nowrap|0 < ''u'' < ''n'',}} contradicting injectivity of φ within a fundamental domain (following from Step 2). If the order is ''N'' > ''n'', we have two cases. If ''m'' = 2, then clearly the image of the (0, 1) translation of [0 : ''m''] must be [''m'' : 2''m''], forcing ''k''<sub>'''w'''</sub> = ''m'' which is of order 2. If ''m'' > 3, then by the lemma, {{nowrap|[0 : ''m''], [0 : ''m''] + ''a'', ..., [0 : ''m''] + (''n'' - 1)''a''}}, where ''a'' = ψ(''k''<sub>'''w'''</sub>), are not disjoint, contradicting injectivity.
