G = <a>, where |a| = 360.
a. Find the number of elements of G with the order 40.
b. Find the number of elements of G with the order 75.
Elements of G are of the form
We want to find those elements for which where
We have
So we must have
Which means there are 16 such elements with order 40
And similarly which is impossible
Meaning there are 0 elements with order 75
(order of an element must divide size of group aka Lagrange's theorem produces contradiction)
