Finite Group C_2×C_4


C_2×C_4 is one of the three Abelian groups of group order 8 (the other two being non-Abelian). Examples include the modulo multiplication groups M_(15), M_(16), M_(20), and M_(30) (and no others).

FiniteGroupC2C4CycleGraph

The elements A_i of this group satisfy A_i^4=1, where 1 is the identity element, and four of the elements satisfy A_i^2=1. The cycle graph is shown above.

FiniteGroupC2C4Table

Its multiplication table is illustrated above.

Since the group is Abelian, each element is in its own conjugacy class.

The subgroups are {1}, {1,B}, {1,E}, {1,G}, {1,A,B,D}, {1,B,C,F}, {1,B,E,G}, and {1, A, B, C, D, E, F, G}. Since the group is Abelian, all of these are normal.
