Math Help - subfields of a field

1. subfields of a field

Identify all the subfields of a field $F=F_{p^{18}}$, with $p^{18}$ elements where $p$ is a prime. Draw the lattice of all subfields.

I am allowed to just use a theorem, but I don't know one to use.

The subgroups of $\mathbb{F}_{p^{18}}$ are $\mathbb{F}_{p^{k}}$ where $k|18$. Furthermore, $\mathbb{F}_{p^{k}}\subseteq \mathbb{F}_{p^{j}}$ if and only if $k|j$.
Now you can draw the diagram of all subfields.
Hint: The subfield diagram should look like an inverted $\mathbb{Z}_{18}$ diagram*.

(*This is not an accident! It follows from fundamental theorem of Galois theory.)

3. I got this (I don't know how draw lattice diagrams in latex): Is that correct?

I do not see any picture.
You can put it into Paint and then upload it to MHF.

Here it is. I am pretty sure it is correct though. Thanks for the help.

6. Good job. You just missed one more field, $\mathbb{F}_p$, the base field.
It goes below $\mathbb{F}_{p^3}$ and $\mathbb{F}_{p^2}$.
