    Abelian Group Order: Find Largest Possible # of Subgroups

    Is this an alright proof? First note that Z(n) has exactly one d-subgroup, where d is any divisor of n. Using the fundamental theorem of finite abelian groups, G can be isomorphic to either: Z540, which has only one 3-subgroup, Z3 x Z180, which has three 3-subgroups (namely, the subgroups...

    Proving Isomorphism of Z4 / (2Z4) to Z2

    Why does it make sense ( when considering Z4)to form the factor group Z4 / (2Z4) where kZn = {0, k mod n, 2k mod n, ..., nk mod n}? I believe that this above factor group is isomorphic to Z2, but how can I prove this?

    Abelian Group Order: Find Largest Possible # of Subgroups

    This isn't homework, it was proposed by a professor of mine and I'm dying here because the hint makes no sense to me Let G be an abelian group of order 540, what is the largest possible number of subgroups of order 3 such a group G can have? He said to classify abelian groups of order 27...

    Simple Abelian Groups: Can They Be Classified?

    I've been doing some work with simple Abelian groups and their generators, and I feel like there is a way to classify all of them, is this possible?
