Lagrange's Theorem and Index of Subgroups | Abstract Algebra

We introduce Lagrange's theorem, showing why it is true and follows from previously proven results about cosets. We also investigate groups of prime order, seeing how Lagrange's theorem informs us about every group of prime order - in particular it tells us that any group of prime order p is cyclic and has all of its non-identity elements as generators. Thus, there is only one group (up to isomorphism) of any given prime order. We conclude with a brief discussion of the index of a subgroup H in a group G, showing that the index of a subgroup is equal to the order of the group divided by the order of the subgroup. #abstractalgebra #grouptheory
