(group theory, of an element of a group) For given group G and element g ∈ G, the smallest positive natural number n, if it exists, such that (using multiplicative notation), gn = e, where e is the identity element of G; if no such number exists, the element is said to be of infinite order (or sometimes zero order).

If is a finite group, its cardinality is called the order of . The order of an element is defined as the smallest nonnegative integer such that . The second case of the following result is known as Cauchy's theorem.
Theorem 1.10Let be a finite group.
(i) The order of an element divides the order of the group.
(ii) If a prime number divides , then there exists an element of order.
