that a² = e), then ord(a) = 2; this implies G is abelian since . The converse is not true; for example, the (additive) cyclic group Z₆ of integers modulo 6 is abelian, but the number 2 has order 3:

:.

The relationship between the two concepts of order is the following: if we write
:for the subgroup generated
