Problem on cyclic subgroup [closed]












1














Show that if $G$ is a group that contains cyclic subgroups of order $4,5$ then there must exist an element of order $20$ in $ G$.




I don't know how to prove it. I'm just beginner.Thanks for help .

It is false, in general! For example, if we take $G=S_5$, then $G$ has cyclic subgroups of order $4$ and $5$,but $G$ has no element of order $20$.




If $G$ is Abelian then this result is true! Call $H$ the cyclic subgroup of order $4$ and $K$,the cyclic subgroups of order $5$ in $G$. So $exists a in H wedge b in K$ so that $vert a vert=4$ and $vert b vert=5$.



Now, all we know is about only $a$ and $b$, so use these two to produce the another element of order $20$.



Here $ab=ba$ implies $ab$ is the required element of order $20$.
