Since, G be a abelian group then for all x,y belongs to G,
Now, take element a,b of G. Let the order of 'a' is m and order of 'b' is n.
<a> denote the cyclic group which is generated by 'a' that is
Then the order of the group will be m and order of each element of <a> divides the order of the group that is 'm'.
Similarly <b> denote the cyclic group which is generated by 'b'that is,
Then the order of the group will be n and order of each element of <b> divides the order of the group that is 'n'.
Since,given that gcd(m,n)=1
Hence, common element of the groups <a> and <b> is {1} that is <1>.
Therefore,
Now take (When m,n)
Total elements = lcm (m,n)=mn
and
Total elements = lcm(m,n)=mn
Hence,

22 Must the center of a group be Abelian? 23. Let G be an Abelian group with identity e and let n be some integer Prove that the set of all élements of G that satisfy the equation* - e is a subgroup of G. Give an example of a group G in which the set of all elements of G that satisfy the equation :2 -e does not form a subgroup of G. (This exercise is referred to in...
1. Let a and b be elements of a group . Prove that ab and ba have the same order. 2. Show by example that the product of elements of nite order in a group need not have nite order. What if the group is abelian?

Let a and b be elements of a group G such that b has order 2 and ab=ba^-1 12. Let a and b be elements of a group G such that b has order 2 and ab = ba-1. (a) Show that a” b = ba-n for all integers n. Hint: Evaluate the product (bab)(bab) in two different ways to show that ba+b = a-2, and then extend this method. (b) Show that the set S = {a”, ba" |...
