Find all the generators of the oyolio group G = 0,1,2,3,4} under the binary operation “additionmodulo 5”
Question
Find all the generators of the oyolio group
under the binary operation "addition modulo 5".
Solution
To find the generators of the cyclic group G = {0,1,2,3,4} under the binary operation "addition modulo 5", we need to find all elements 'a' in G such that every other element in G can be written as a power of 'a'.
Step 1: Choose an element from the group. Let's start with 1.
Step 2: Generate all elements of the group by adding 1 to itself modulo 5.
1^1 = 1 (mod 5) 1^2 = 2 (mod 5) 1^3 = 3 (mod 5) 1^4 = 4 (mod 5) 1^5 = 0 (mod 5)
We see that we can generate all elements of the group G with 1, so 1 is a generator of G.
Step 3: Repeat the process for the remaining elements of the group.
For 2: 2^1 = 2 (mod 5) 2^2 = 4 (mod 5) 2^3 = 1 (mod 5) 2^4 = 3 (mod 5) 2^5 = 0 (mod 5)
So, 2 is also a generator of G.
For 3: 3^1 = 3 (mod 5) 3^2 = 1 (mod 5) 3^3 = 4 (mod 5) 3^4 = 2 (mod 5) 3^5 = 0 (mod 5)
So, 3 is also a generator of G.
For 4: 4^1 = 4 (mod 5) 4^2 = 1 (mod 5) 4^3 = 4 (mod 5) 4^4 = 1 (mod 5) 4^5 = 0 (mod 5)
So, 4 is not a generator of G because it cannot generate all elements of G.
For 0: 0^1 = 0 (mod 5) 0^2 = 0 (mod 5) 0^3 = 0 (mod 5) 0^4 = 0 (mod 5) 0^5 = 0 (mod 5)
So, 0 is not a generator of G because it cannot generate all elements of G.
Therefore, the generators of the group G = {0,1,2,3,4} under the binary operation "addition modulo 5" are 1, 2, and 3.
