Picture an arbitrary function from a ''source'' or ''domain'' to a ''target'' or ''codomain''. Here is one picture of an <math>f : X \to Y,</math> just about as generic as it needs to be:

Now, it is a fact that any old function that you might pick ''factors'' into a surjective ("onto") function and an injective ("one-to-one") function, in the present example just like so:
