    this statement is not ture for finite abelian group it is ture for finite cyclic group. " Lagrange's theorem" states that " The order of every subgroup of a finite group G is a divisor of the order of the group ." but convers of Lagrange theorem is not holds Note- convers holds for only finite cyclic group.

    But isn't every cyclic group abelian as well?

    eduncle-logo-app

    yes every cyclic group is abelian....but every abelian group is not cyclic

    eduncle-logo-app

    here abelian group is given....not cyclic

    Please provide an example of an abelian group where the converse of Langrange's theorem does not hold true
