**Title: Isomorphism of Multiplicative and Cartesian Groups**

**Objective:**
Show that the multiplicative group \(\mathbb{Z}_8^\times\) is isomorphic to the group \(\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2\).

**Problem Statement:**
The task is to demonstrate that the multiplicative group of units modulo 8, denoted \(\mathbb{Z}_8^\times\), is structurally identical to the direct product of the cyclic group of order 2, denoted \(\mathbb{Z}_2\), with itself.

This means we need to find a bijective homomorphism:
\[ f: \mathbb{Z}_8^\times \to \mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2 \]
which is a function that preserves the group operation, ensuring that the structure of \(\mathbb{Z}_8^\times\) matches that of \(\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2\).

To begin, let's examine the elements of each group.

### Elements:
- \(\mathbb{Z}_8^\times\): The group of units modulo 8 consists of those integers less than 8 that are coprime to 8. These elements are {1, 3, 5, 7}.
- \(\mathbb{Z}_2\): The cyclic group of order 2 consists of the elements {0, 1}.
- \(\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2\): This direct product consists of the ordered pairs {(0,0), (0,1), (1,0), (1,1)}.

### Verification:
Now, we will establish the isomorphism by verifying the group structure.

1. **Group Operation Preservation:**
   - For \(\mathbb{Z}_8^\times\), the operation is multiplication modulo 8.
   - For \(\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2\), the operation is component-wise addition modulo 2.

2. **Bijection and Homomorphism:**
   - Define a mapping \( f \) from \(\mathbb{Z}_8^\times\) to \(\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2\).
