Show that set of all cusp classes is finite.

A cusp $κ$ of a congruence subgroup $Γ le SL_2(mathbb{Z})$ is by definition an element of $mathbb{Q}∪{{i∞}}$. In mapping $κ to frac{aκ+b}{cκ+d}$ if we take $κ=a/b in mathbb{Q}$ then $A=begin{pmatrix}x&y\-b&aend{pmatrix} in SL_2(mathbb{Z})$ maps $κ to i∞$.



On the other hand index of $Γ$ in $SL_2(mathbb{Z})$ is finite, say $SL_2(mathbb{Z}) = ΓA_1 cup dots ΓA_l$.



How to complete of the following?




Show that the set of all cusp classes $(mathbb{Q}∪{{i∞}})/Γ$ is finite.




Regarding the definition of Γ :




A subgroup $Γ ⊂ SL(2, Z)$ is called a congruence subgroup iff it contains a suitable principal congruence subgroup $Γ[q]$, i.e. $Γ[q] ⊂ Γ ⊂ Γ[1]$ in which $$ Gamma(q)=Big{M=begin{pmatrix}
a &b\
c& d
end{pmatrix}in SL(2,mathbb{Z}) | a equiv d equiv 1 bmod q text{and} b equiv c equiv 0 bmod q Big}.$$
