    The authors show that whether two torsion units in the integral group ring \(\mathbb{Z} G\) of a finite group \(G\) are rationally conjugate can be read from the partial augmentations of their powers. This is applied to the alternating group on five letters \(A_5\) and yields that, up to rational conjugation, all torsion units already belong to \(A_5\).
