Examples: Example 1 :The group U(15)={1,2,4,7,8,11,13,14}
Example 2: The group
Example 3: The group (Z,+) Note that for non zero element a, we havea, 2a, 3a, 4a, …… is never 0, hence |a|=∞

Definition: Subgroup
If H is a subgroup of G, we write H≤ G If H is a subgroup of G and H is a proper subset, we writeH<G and we say H is a proper subdroup of G.
Examples {e} is a subgroup of any group G called the trivial subgroup.
Any subgroup other than {e} is called non trivial.
Any group G is a subgroup of itself.
