Question
Let a and b be elements of a group. If |a| and |b| are relatively prime, show that <a> intersects <b> = {e}.
Expert Solution

Step 1
Let m and n be the order of the elements a and b of a group G. Given that the orders of a and b are relatively prime. Then,
gcd (m, n) = 1.
Step 2
By using the theorem
“Let a and b be integers. Suppose that gcd(a, b) =1. Then there exist integers x and y such that ax + by = 1”,
there exist integers x and y such that
mx + ny =1.
Step 3
Let g ∊ <a> Ո <b>. Then
