[Recall:

Let G is a non-empty set, A binary operation * together with G defined as (G,*) is called a "Group" if the following properties hold in G:

G1: Closure property:

a * b  G for each a  G and b G

G2: Associative property:

a*(b*c) = (a*b)*c for each a G, b G and c G

G3: Existence of identity element:

a*e = e *a = a , e is the identity element in G.

G4: Existence of inverse element:

For each a G, there exists an ...
