f:X\rightarrow Z

and

g: Y\rightarrow Z

with a common codomain, Z'', their pullback is a pair of morphisms $p_1:P\rightarrow X$ and $p_2:P\rightarrow Y$ as well as their common domain, ''P'', such that the equation $f\circ p_1 = g\circ p_2$ is satisfied, and for which there is the ''universal property'' that for any other object ''Q for which there are also morphisms
