Is every group of order 4 cyclic?

We will now show that any group of order 4 is either cyclic (hence isomorphic to Z/4Z) or isomorphic to the Klein-four.

Is group of order 4 always cyclic?

The order of an element of a group must divide the order of the group. So a group of order 4 can only have elements of order 1, 2, or 4. If it has an element of order 4, it is a cyclic group.

Is every group of order 4 abelian?

This implies that our assumption that G is not an abelian group ( or G is not commutative ) is wrong. Therefore, we can conclude that every group G of order 4 must be an abelian group.

Is every group of order 5 is cyclic?

All groups of order 2,3,5 are cyclic, because their order is a prime number. Since the order of a subgroup always divides the group order, a group of prime order can’t even have a proper subgroup. All elements thus have order equal to 1 or group order, which makes each of them, except 1, a generator of the whole group.

Is there a cyclic group of every order?

Cyclically ordered groups

Every cyclic group can be given a structure as a cyclically ordered group, consistent with the ordering of the integers (or the integers modulo the order of the group). Every finite subgroup of a cyclically ordered group is cyclic.

Is the Klein 4 group cyclic?

Klein Four Group

It is smallest non-cyclic group, and it is Abelian.
