MHB How to Represent Quotients in Latex?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a user named Peter seeking assistance with a LaTeX formatting issue related to universal properties in linear and abstract algebra. Peter specifically struggles with the correct notation for a series of equivalence classes represented as [a_1]_\sim_R, [a_3]_\sim_R, [a_5]_\sim_R, [a_7]_\sim_R, and [a_8]_\sim_R. Another user, Ackbach, provides a solution by suggesting the correct syntax: [a_1]_{\sim_R}, [a_3]_{\sim_R}, [a_5]_{\sim_R}, [a_7]_{\sim_R}, and [a_8]_{\sim_R}. Peter expresses gratitude for the help, indicating that the issue was resolved.

I have just finished a post on the Linear and Abstract Algebra Forum on Universal Properties,

I am having trouble with the following line of Latex: $$ [a_1]_\sim_R , [a_3]_\sim_R , [a_5]_\sim_R , [a_7]_\sim_R, [a_8]_\sim_R $$

The effect that I wanted for each quotient was as follows:

Try
Code:
[a_1]_{\sim_R} ,  [a_3]_{\sim_R} ,  [a_5]_{\sim_R} , [a_7]_{\sim_R}, [a_8]_{\sim_R}
