Abstract Algebra 8.2: Order of an Element in a Direct Product

We do some motivating examples, and then show how to find the order of an element in a direct product of groups.

Very clearly explained. Thanks

Great video! I'd like to add that in Zn, |x| = n / gcd(n, x). This makes it easier when dealing with large values of n.

You're welcome. I'm glad that people are getting use out of these videos.

Thank you sir... because of you only I learned this topic...but, I have one doubt...In last example (3,6 ) ... How order of 3 is 2…. 3² =9 .. then in Z₆ it will go to 2 only... Please explain... I am right or wrong...

The group operation is addition (mod 6), not multiplication. 3 + 3 = 6, which is equal to 0 when taken mod 6.
