Cyclic Group C_12


The cyclic group C_(12) is one of the two Abelian groups of the five groups total of group order 12 (the other order-12 Abelian group being finite group C2×C6). Examples include the modulo multiplication groups of orders m=13 and 26 (which are the only modulo multiplication groups isomorphic to C_(12)).

CyclicGroupC12CycleGraph

The cycle graph of C_(12) is shown above. The cycle index is

 Z(C_(12))=1/(12)x_1^(12)+1/(12)x_2^6+1/6x_3^4+1/6x_4^3+1/6x_6^2+1/3x_(12).
CyclicGroupC12Table

Its multiplication table is illustrated above.

The numbers of elements satisfying A^i=1 for i=1, 2, ..., 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 6, 1, 4, 3, 2, 1, 12.

Because the group is Abelian, each element is in its own conjugacy class. There are six subgroups: {1}, {1,F}, {1,D,H}, and {1,C,F,I}. {1,B,D,F,H,J}, and {1,A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K} which, because the group is Abelian, are all normal. Since C_6 has normal subgroups other than the trivial subgroup and the entire group, it is not a simple group.
