Showing that $o(phi(g))|o(g)$ if $phi:G_1mapsto G_2$ is a homomorphism and $gin G_1$












2














$o(g)$ denotes the order of $g$.



This is how I think I proved it:



Let $m:=o(g)$



Let $d=o(phi(g))$. $~dle m$ because $langlephi (g)rangle={phi(g),phi(g)^2=phi(g^2),...,phi(g^m)=e_{G_2}}$



If $o(phi(g))=d$ by euclidean division there exist $qinBbb N$ and $0le r<d$ such that $$m=dq+r~text{ and }~phi(g)^d=e=phi(g^d)\ e=g^m=g^{dq+r}=g^{dq}g^r implies g^r=g^{-dq}\ phi(g)^r=phi(g^r)=phi(g^{-dq})=(phi(g)^d)^{-q}=e$$
but $d>r$ is the order of $phi(g)$ so $r$ must be zero.



I'm not sure if this is all correct

You can get this more quickly using the First Isomorphism Theorem. Recall that $o(g) = |langle g rangle|$. Now $o(phi(g)) = |phi( langle g rangle)|$. Taking $G = langle g rangle$, the First Isomorphism theorem tells us that $|G| = |Im(phi)| cdot |ker(phi)|$. Note that $|Im(phi)| = o(phi(g))$.
