Group isomorphism: quotient of R[x] ≅ direct sum of R

In what way can we construct an isomorphism using R[x] and R?

If we restrict our aim to just a group isomorphism then we can achieve the following:

Let R be a commutative ring, R[x] a polynomial ring, and f(x)R[x] a polynomial. Let [φ:R[x]? ] be a set function defined by sending g(x)R[x] to the tuple representation of the remainder of g(x) when divided by f(x).

Then this function induces an isomorphism of abelian groups:

Can you construct the proof?
