Is $U_8$ isomorphic to $K_4$ (Klein Group)

abstract-algebrafinite-groupsgroup-isomorphismgroup-theory

$U_8=\{1,3,5,7\}$ since this group has one element of order one, three elements of two order and no element of $4$ order .. so does the Klein group.

Both $U_8$ and the Klein group are non cyclic groups whose every proper subgroup is cyclic, so the Klein group is isomorphic to U(8)?

Best Answer

There are only two groups of order four: (1) the cyclic group and (2) the Klein group.

As all elements of $U(8)$ are of order $2$, $U(8)$ is indeed isomorphic as a group to the Klein group.

The key argument is that there is no other groups of order four than the two mentioned above.
