coproduct of cyclic groups

133 Views Asked by At

there is no coproduct of two cyclic groups of order 3 in the category of finite groups.

This is the statement I believe it is true. However I do not know how to verify this?

Thanks for help.

Free product of two nontrivial groups is always infinite. This follows immediately from description of free product in terms of reduced words.
