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.
