Consider the provided qustion,
If a $$\displaystyle\in{Z}_{{n}}$$ then $$\displaystyle{\left|{a}\right|}=\frac{{n}}{{{\gcd{{\left({a},{n}\right)}}}}}$$
here given $$\displaystyle{Z}_{{12}}$$. So, n=12
Given a = 6, b = 2
So, a + b = 6 + 2 = 8
$$\displaystyle{\left|{a}\right|}={\left|{6}\right|}=\frac{{12}}{{{\gcd{{\left({6},{12}\right)}}}}}=\frac{{12}}{{6}}={2}$$
$$\displaystyle{\left|{b}\right|}={\left|{2}\right|}=\frac{{12}}{{{\gcd{{\left({2},{12}\right)}}}}}=\frac{{12}}{{2}}={6}$$
$$\displaystyle{\left|{a}+\right|}={\left|{8}\right|}=\frac{{12}}{{{\gcd{{\left({8},{12}\right)}}}}}=\frac{{12}}{{4}}={3}$$

Suppose G is a group and H is a normal subgroup of G. Prove or disprove ass appropirate. If G is cyclic, then $$\displaystyle\frac{{G}}{{H}}$$ is cyclic.

Definition: Suppose G is group, and H a normal subgruop og G. THe froup consisting of the set $$\displaystyle\frac{{G}}{{H}}$$ with operation defined by (aH)(bH)-(ab)H is called the quotient of G by H.
An nth root of unity epsilon is an element such that $$\displaystyle\epsilon^{{n}}={1}$$. We say that epsilon is primitive if every nth root of unity is $$\displaystyle\epsilon^{{k}}$$ for some k. Show that there are primitive nth roots of unity $$\displaystyle\epsilon_{{n}}\in\mathbb{C}$$ for all n, and find the degree of $$\displaystyle\mathbb{Q}\rightarrow\mathbb{Q}{\left(\epsilon_{{n}}\right)}$$ for $$\displaystyle{1}\le{n}\le{6}$$
