• Associativity. We have isomorphisms of sets1
    \[ \underbrace{\text{CoEq}\webleft (\text{coeq}\webleft (f,g\webright )\circ f,\text{coeq}\webleft (f,g\webright )\circ h\webright )}_{{}=\text{CoEq}\webleft (\text{coeq}\webleft (f,g\webright )\circ g,\text{coeq}\webleft (f,g\webright )\circ h\webright )}\cong \text{CoEq}\webleft (f,g,h\webright ) \cong \underbrace{\text{CoEq}\webleft (\text{coeq}\webleft (g,h\webright )\circ f,\text{coeq}\webleft (g,h\webright )\circ g\webright )}_{{}=\text{CoEq}\webleft (\text{coeq}\webleft (g,h\webright )\circ f,\text{coeq}\webleft (g,h\webright )\circ h\webright )}, \]

    where $\text{CoEq}\webleft (f,g,h\webright )$ is the colimit of the diagram

    in $\mathsf{Sets}$.
