kludge

ipa :/klʌd͡ʒ/[Alternative forms]

[Etymology]
Perhaps from British military slang, possibly based on a Scots word kludge or kludgie (“common toilet”), or perhaps from German klug (“clever”). Alternatively, possibly related to Polish klucz (“a key, a hint, a main point”) and Russian ключ (ključ, “key, clue”).Alternatively, perhaps from (a form related to) Germanic words such as Dutch Low Saxon klütje (“(little) dumpling, clod”), Dutch kluit(je) or Jutland Danish klyt (“piece of bad workmanship, klud(g)e”); compare and standard Danish kludder (“mess, disorder”). (Compare klutz.)There is evidence that kluge (which see) was once a separate word with similar meaning but separate derivation, but the spelling kludge was widely popularized in the US by a 1962 Datamation article on "How to Design a Kludge",[1] and since then the two words have often been used as alternative spellings of each other.According to the OED, an "invented word" influenced by bodge and fudge.

If Δ {\displaystyle \Delta } is a finite group, its cardinality is called the order of Δ {\displaystyle \Delta } . The order of an element a ∈ Δ {\displaystyle a\in \Delta } is defined as the smallest nonnegative integer n {\displaystyle n} such that a n = 1 Δ {\displaystyle a^{n}=1_{\Delta }} . The second case of the following result is known as Cauchy's theorem.
Theorem 1.10 Let Δ {\displaystyle \Delta } be a finite group.
(i) The order of an element a ∈ Δ {\displaystyle a\in \Delta } divides the order | Δ | {\displaystyle |\Delta |} of the group.
(ii) If a prime number p {\displaystyle p} divides | Δ | {\displaystyle |\Delta |} , then there exists an element a ∈ Δ {\displaystyle a\in \Delta } of order p {\displaystyle p} .
41.2010, A. R. Vasishta, A. K. Vasishta, Modern Algebra, Krishna Prakashan Media, 60th Edition, page 180,
Since in a finite group the order of an element must be a divisor of the order of the group, therefore o (a) cannot be 3 and so we must have o (a)=4=the order of the group G.
