Order of this group?

39 Views Asked by At

It s a stupid question probably but i dont know. It was a little question in a test. The order ( cardinality) of $G= \mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_6$. I think it s $12$, the direct product is the cartesian product of the two sets $\mathbb{Z}_2$ and $\mathbb{Z}_6$ with the same operation etc. But i think it s not the right answer (if it was $12$ why ask it, it s obvious...)

Yes, you are correct. The order of the Cartesian product of two groups is the product of the order of the groups. Good job!
