Prove that every non-trivial subgroup of a cyclic group has finite index. Hence prove that (Q, +) is not cyclic.
Let, be a finite group of order , where are primes.
Recall that the number of sylow -subgroup of
satisfies and
Then, which contradicts the
Thus
Then G has normal sylow q-subgroup Q
we have
and
The first condition implies that or
The latter case implies that which is excluded by our assumption that
Thus, has a normal sylow p-subgroup p.
