298+ \label {lemma-coim-im-map }
299+ Let $ f : x \to y$ be a morphism in a preadditive category
300+ such that the kernel, cokernel, image and coimage all exist.
301+ Then $ f$ can be factored uniquely as
302+ $ x \to \Coim (f) \to \Im (f) \to y$ .
303+ \end {lemma }
304+
305+ \begin {proof }
306+ There is a canonical morphism $ \Coim (f) \to y$
307+ because $ \Ker (f) \to x \to y$ is zero.
308+ The composition $ \Coim (f) \to y \to \Coker (f)$
309+ is zero, because it is the unique morphism which gives
310+ rise to the morphism $ x \to y \to \Coker (f)$ which
311+ is zero
312+ (the uniqueness follows from
313+ Lemma \ref {lemma-kernel-mono } (3)).
314+ Hence $ \Coim (f) \to y$ factors uniquely through
315+ $ \Im (f) \to y$ , which gives us the desired map.
