Everything about Cyclic Group totally explained

In group theory, a cyclic group or monogenous group is a group that can be generated by a single element, in the sense that the group has an element g (called a "generator" of the group) such that, when written multiplicatively, every element of the group is a power of g (a multiple of g when the notation is additive).

Definition

A group G is called cyclic if there exists an element g in G such that G = <g> = cong C2.

Virtually cyclic groups

A group is called virtually cyclic if it contains a cyclic subgroup of finite index. It is known that a finitely generated discrete group with exactly two ends is virtually cyclic. Every abelian subgroup of a Gromov hyperbolic group is virtually cyclic.
