Solution 1

To prove that g = e, we need to use the fact that the order of an element divides the order of the group.

Step 1: Let's denote the order of g as k. This means that g^k = e and k is the smallest such positive integer.

Step 2: Since g^m = e, the order of g, k, must divide m (because m is the power Knowee AI is a powerful AI-powered study tool designed to help you to solve study problem.
