Let Γ denote the modular group, consisting of the Möbius transformations

As usual we denote the above transformation by the matrix remembering that V and – V represent the same transformation. If N is a positive integer we let Γ0(N) denote the transformations for which c ≡ 0 mod N. Then Γ0(N) is a subgroup of index

the product being taken over all prime divisors of N.
