Here are some examples of coequalisers of sets.

  1. Quotients by Equivalence Relations. Let $R$ be an equivalence relation on a set $X$. We have a bijection of sets
    \[ X/\mathord {\sim }_{R}\cong \text{CoEq}\webleft (R\hookrightarrow X\times X\underset {\text{pr}_{2}}{\overset {\text{pr}_{1}}{\rightrightarrows }}X\webright ). \]
