Is <13> = <7> and <23> = 17 because they have the same elements or the same order.  What I'm asking is if cyclic groups of the same order equal to each other.

List the cyclic subgrous of U(30).

To do this, I listed each possible subgroup of U(30) and then tested whether they are cyclic. A problem I ran into, though, is that <13> appears to be cyclic and <23> does, but the answer in the back of the book does not include them.

Has anyone else encountered this problem or know the solution? I will try to ask during office hours....

I think they aren't in the back of the book because <13> is the same as <7> and <23> is the same as <17>.
