\subsection*Problem S4.2 \textitLet $G$ be a cyclic group of order $n$. Prove that for each divisor $d$ of $n$, there exists exactly one subgroup of order $d$.

Check powers of $r$: $r$ does not commute with $s$ since $srs = r^-1 \ne r$ unless $r^2=1$, but $r^2$ has order 2. Compute $r^2 s = s r^-2 = s r^2$ (since $r^-2=r^2$), so $r^2$ commutes with $s$. Also $r^2$ commutes with $r$, thus with all elements. $r$ and $r^3$ are not central. $s$ is not central (doesn’t commute with $r$). Similarly $rs$ not central.
