Let $f: (mathbb{Z}_{24}, +) rightarrow (mathbb{Z}_{36}, +)$
be a group homomorphism. If the image of $f$ contains exactly $2$ elements, how many elements are there in the kernel of $f$?
What I know:
Let $f : G to H$ be a group homomorphism between two finite groups. Then we
have $$|G| = |ker(f )| times |{rm im}(f )|$$
$$|G|= |ker(f )| times 2$$
However I don’t know how to work out $|G|$ for my question.
The order of $G$ is 24 [why is this], so plugging this into your equation $|G| =$ $|$ker$(f)| times |$Im$(f)|$ yields $24 =$ $|$ker$(f)| times 2$ or $|$ker$(f)| = 12.$

By the first isomorphism theorem, $G/rm{ker}fcongrm{im}f$. So, $24/|rm{ker}f|=2$. Thus $|rm{ker}f|=12$.
