Talk:Cauchy's theorem (group theory)/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Someone Else: 18:28, 28 June 2007 (EST) At the end of the first paragraph of the proof, I'm not clear why h^n/px has order p since (h^n/px)^p=hⁿx^p=x^p=h^-1.

^{Someone Else: 12:20, 1 July 2007 (EST) I fixed the proof a couple of days ago. I don't think this entry qualifies as a stub anymore, as it now includes a full proof. I'm dropping the PlanetMath citations, as it also doesn't really incorporate information unique to PlanetMath. The statement of the theorem is ubiquitous in algebra and the proof here is not the proof from PlanetMath (which is actually a much simpler proof, so I kept the link.)}
