Examples of Order of Power of Group Element

Order of Powers of $x$ when $\order x= 20$

Let $G$ be a group.

Let $x \in G$ be such that:

$\order x = 20$

where $\order x$ denotes the order of $x$ in $G$.

Then:

\(\text {(1)}: \quad\) \(\ds \order {x^4}\) \(=\) \(\ds 5\)
\(\text {(2)}: \quad\) \(\ds \order {x^{10} }\) \(=\) \(\ds 2\)
\(\text {(3)}: \quad\) \(\ds \order {x^{12} }\) \(=\) \(\ds 5\)
