Math Problem Statement
Let H be a subgroup of order 8 of the integer group 24. List the elements of H.
Solution
In this problem, we need to find a subgroup of order 8 in the group , which is the group of integers modulo 24 under addition.
Step 1: Understanding
The group consists of the elements: with addition performed modulo 24.
Step 2: Identifying Subgroups
The order of a subgroup in must divide the order of the group , which is 24. Thus, a subgroup of order 8 is possible.
Subgroups in are generated by elements whose orders divide 24. To have a subgroup of order 8, we need an element whose order is 3, since .
Step 3: Generating Subgroup of Order 8
The element of order 3 that generates a subgroup of order 8 is .
The elements of the subgroup generated by in are:
Answer:
The elements of the subgroup of order 8 in are:
