Cyclic Group C_7
C_7 is the cyclic group that is the unique group of group order 7. Examples include the point group C_7 and the integers modulo 7 under addition (Z_7). No modulo multiplication group is isomorphic to C_7. Like all cyclic groups, C_7 is Abelian.
The cycle graph is shown above, and the group has cycle index is
| Z(C_7)=1/7x_1^7+6/7x_7. |
The elements A_i of the group satisfy A_i^7=1, where 1 is the identity element.
Its multiplication table is illustrated above and enumerated below.
Because it is Abelian, the group conjugacy classes are {1}, {A}, {B}, {C}, {D}, {E}, and {F}. Because 7 is prime, the only subgroups are the trivial group and the entire group. C_7 is therefore a simple group, as are all cyclic graphs of prime order.
