Homework Statement
Find all the subgroups of Q* (set of all non-zero rational #s) under multiplication. Explain how you know that Q* has no other finite subgroups.
Homework Equations
The subgroups must satisfy the properties of association, closure, inverse, and identity.
The Attempt at a Solution
I have determined that Q+ under multiplication is a subgroup (and is not cyclic) but is this the only one? Would I also include multiples? For example, 6^n where n is an integer under multiplication. How do I know there are no other finite subgroups?
