Homework Statement
Let G be a finite group of rotation of the plane about the origin. Prove that G is cyclic.
The Attempt at a Solution
What it means to be cyclic is that every element of the group can be written as a^n for some integer n.
I can see this is true if i take some examples. i.e. {0,pi/2, pi, 3pi/2} is cleraly cyclic. but i can't for the life of me figure out how to prove this.
