Q:Let G be a finite abelian group of order n with identity e,If for all a belongs to G,a^3=e then by induction on n show that n=3^k for some non negative integer k??
Q:Let G be a finite abelian group of order n with identity e,If for all a belongs to G,a^3=e then by induction on n show that n=3^k for some non negative integer k??
Hint: to complete the induction choose any and apply the induction hypothesis to the quotient group
