Math Problem Statement

List the element of <5> in Z13 under addition modulo 13

Solution

To list the elements of 5\langle 5 \rangle in Z13\mathbb{Z}_{13} under addition modulo 13, we compute the successive multiples of 5, reducing modulo 13:

  1. 5×1=55 \times 1 = 5
  2. 5×2=105 \times 2 = 10
  3. 5×3=152(mod13)5 \times 3 = 15 \equiv 2 \pmod{13}
  4. 5×4=207(mod13)5 \times 4 = 20 \equiv 7 \pmod{13}
  5. 5×5=2512(mod13)5 \times 5 = 25 \equiv 12 \pmod{13}
  6. 5×6=304(mod13)5 \times 6 = 30 \equiv 4 \pmod{13}
  7. 5×7=359(mod13)5 \times 7 = 35 \equiv 9 \pmod{13}
  8. 5×8=401(mod13)5 \times 8 = 40 \equiv 1 \pmod{13}

Thus, the set of elements of 5\langle 5 \rangle in Z13\mathbb{Z}_{13} is:
5={1,2,4,5,7,9,10,12}\langle 5 \rangle = \{1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 12\}

  2. What does it mean for an element to generate a cyclic group in Zn\mathbb{Z}_n?
  3. How do you determine the order of an element in Zn\mathbb{Z}_n?
  4. What is the significance of the number 13 in the group Z13\mathbb{Z}_{13}?
  5. Can you find the elements of 3\langle 3 \rangle in Z13\mathbb{Z}_{13}?

Tip: The order of an element in Zn\mathbb{Z}_n is the smallest positive integer kk such that k×a0(modn)k \times a \equiv 0 \pmod{n}.
