Corollary
Example U(105)
U(n) is isomorphic to a product of cyclic group
Example; U(105), U(720)
U(720) We may ask the following questions: What is the order of U(720)? Is U(720) cyclic? What are the orders of elements in U(720)? How many elements of order 12 are there in U(720)? Since Aut(Z_n) is isomorphic to U(n), all these questions are valid for Aut(Z_n)
