Thread: Order of premutation

Compute the orders of products of non-disjoint cycles:

(1 2 3)(3 2 4)


(1 2 3)(3 4 5)



I calcuated for a couple of times but still couldn't get the right answers.

What is the permutation group you are working in? Is it ?

They are two separate questions.

(Grumbles) I never was good with cyclic notation.

Just write it as a premutation,



Now find
