Let a be an element of order n in a group and d = gcd(n,k) where k is a positive integer.

a) Prove that <a^k> = <a^d>

b) Prove that |a^k| = n/d

c) Use the parts you proved above to find all the cyclic subgroups and their orders when |a| = 100.

4. Let a, b, c be integers. (a) Prove if gcd(ab, c) = 1, then gcd(a, c) = 1 and gcd(b, c) = 1. (Hint: use the GCD characterization theorem.) (b) Prove if gcd(a, c) = 1 and gcd(b, c) = 1, then gcd(ab, c) = 1. (Hint: you can use the GCD characterization theorem again but you may need to multiply equations.) (c) You have now proved that “gcd(a, c) = 1 and gcd(b, c) = 1 if and...
