A cyclic group of order two looks like this.

It has two elements e and x such that ex = xe = x and e2 = x2 = e.

So it is clear how it relates to the identity.

In a cyclic group of order 2, every element is its own inverse.

What is the order of the cyclic group mean?

The order of a cyclic group is the number of distinct elements in the group. It is also the smallest power, k, such that xk = i for all elements x in the group (i is the identity).


Every subgroup of a cyclic group is cyclic?

Yes, every subgroup of a cyclic group is cyclic because every subgroup is a group.


Is every group whose order is less than or equal to 4 a cyclic group?

Yes. The only group of order 1 is the trivial group containing only the identity element. All groups of orders 2 or 3 are cyclic since 2 and 3 are both prime numbers. Therefore, any group of order less than or equal to four must be a cyclic group.


Is every abelian group is cyclic or not and why?

every abelian group is not cyclic. e.g, set of (Q,+) it is an abelian group but not cyclic.


Is it true that an infinite cyclic group may have 3 distinct generators?

A cyclic group, by definition, has only one generator. An example of an infinite cyclic group is the integers with addition. This group is generated by 1.

What is cyclic and non cyclic?

Cyclic photophosphorylation is when the electron from the chlorophyll went through the electron transport chain and return back to the chlorophyll. Noncyclic photophosphorylation is when the electron from the chlorophyll doesn't return back but incorporated into NADPH.


What is an identify propery?

In a group, the identity property is that each group contains an element, i, such that for all elements x, in the group, i*x = x*i = x. i is called the identity element.


Is every finite abelian group is cyclic?

No, for instance the Klein group is finite and abelian but not cyclic. Even more groups can be found having this chariacteristic for instance Z9 x Z9 is abelian but not cyclic


What is finite and infinite cyclic group?

Normally, a cyclic group is defined as a set of numbers generated by repeated use of an operator on a single element which is called the generator and is denoted by g.If the operation is multiplicative then the elements are g0, g1, g2, ...Such a group may be finite or infinite. If for some integer k, gk = g0 then the cyclic group is finite, of order k. If there is no such k, then it is infinite - and is isomorphic to Z(integers) with the operation being addition.
