 | | When a group is in fact commutative - i.e., for all a and b in the group one has a#b = b#a - then it is said to be an Abelian group. |
 | | The order of this group is 8 - that is, G Consider the set H = {2, 2#2, 2#(2#2), 2#(2#(2#2)),......}, a subset of G. Doing the indicated computations shows that H = {2, 4, 8, 1}, and one can check that indeed (H,#) is a subgroup of (G,#). |
