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.

CyclicGroupC7CycleGraph

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.

CyclicGroupC7Table

Its multiplication table is illustrated above and enumerated below.

C_7 1 A B C D E F
1 1 A B C D E F
A A B C D E F 1
B B C D E F 1 A
C C D E F 1 A B
D D E F 1 A B C
E E F 1 A B C D
F F 1 A B C D E

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.
