finite field and relationship between subfield and subgroup

490 Views Asked by At

Please help or hints me to solve this question:

Prove: if $F$ is a finite field, then $H \cup \{0\}$ is a subfield of $F$ for every subgroup $H$ of the multiplicative group $F^*$ if and only if the order of $F^*$ is either $1$ or a prime number of the form $2^p - 1$ with a prime $p$.
