SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on resolving a LaTeX formatting issue related to representing quotients. The user Peter initially presented the line of LaTeX code as $$ [a_1]_\sim_R , [a_3]_\sim_R , [a_5]_\sim_R , [a_7]_\sim_R, [a_8]_\sim_R $$ but encountered problems with its appearance. User Ackbach provided the solution by suggesting the corrected syntax: $$ [a_1]_{\sim_R} , [a_3]_{\sim_R} , [a_5]_{\sim_R} , [a_7]_{\sim_R}, [a_8]_{\sim_R} $$, which successfully resolved the issue.

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}
