By LaGrange's Thm., the order of an element of a group must divide the order of the group. Since 3 is prime, up to isomorphism, the only group of order three is {1,x,x^2} where x^3=1. Note that this is a finite cyclic group. Since all cyclic groups are abelian, because they can be modeled by addition mod an integer, the group of order 3 is abelian.

Prove that the set of all real no is a group with respect of multiplication?

There are four requirements that need to be satisfied: A. Closure: For any two elements of the group, a and b, the operation a*b is also a member of the group. B. Associativity: For any three members of the group, a*(b*c) = (a*b)*c C. Identity: There exists an element in the group, called the identity and denoted by i, such that a*i = i*a for all a in the group. For real numbers with multiplication, this element is 1. D. Inverse: For any member of the group, a, there exists a member of the group, b, such that a*b = b*a = 1 (the identity). b is called the inverse of a and denoted by a-1.
