Math 411 Spring 2009 Problem Set: Subgroups and Quotient Groups in K20 - Prof. Paul Howard, Assignments of Abstract Algebra

Problems related to subgroups and quotient groups in the group k20, whose elements are the positive integers between 1 and 20 that are coprime to 20. Students are asked to find the elements of k20, identify the subgroups ⟨3⟩ and ⟨9⟩, list the quotient groups k20/⟨3⟩ and k20/⟨9⟩, and determine the indices [k20 : ⟨3⟩] and [k20 : ⟨9⟩].
