A cyclic group is generated by an element of the group. That means that every element of the group is a power of some element of the group, referred to as the generator.

The order of the group is the number of members, or elements, of the group. So, a cyclic group of order 5 may be written as the set {g^0,g, g^2, g^3, g^4} under an appropriate binary operation. g^5 = g^0 which is the identity element.

Any cyclic group of order n ...
