Abstract

In this paper, we present some methods of constructing new groups from given ones. We first examined the direct product  of the finite groups G_i for n³2 and then observed that . We also established the fact that for any prime number p > 2 and any positive integer k, |U(p^k)| = |U(2p^k)| where U(n) is the set of all integers less than n and relatively prime to n, and finally conclude on symmetries by constructing groups and their respective subgroups, characteristics and the unique factorization of the elements.

Keywords: Cartesian product, group, isomorphism, symmetry, cyclic
