is the cyclic group that is the unique
group of group order 7.
Examples include the point group
and the integers modulo 7 under addition (
). No modulo multiplication
group is isomorphic to
. Like all cyclic groups,
is Abelian.
The cycle graph is shown above, and the group has cycle index is
The elements
of the group satisfy

where 1 is the identity element.

Because it is Abelian, the group conjugacy classes are ,

group and the entire group.
is therefore a simple group,
as are all cyclic graphs of prime order.
