The Group of Order 2

Here is the group table for the only group of order 2

Z₂

+	0	1
0	0	1
1	1	0

The Group of Order 3

Here is the group table for the only group of order 3

2	2	0	1

The Groups of Order 4

Here are the group tables for the only groups of order 4

The cyclic group of order 4

Two ways of documenting the same group structure
Z4 + 0 1 2 3 0 0 1 2 3 1 1 2 3 0 2 2 3 0 1 3 3 0 1 2				$Z_5^{*}$ × 1 2 3 4 1 1 2 3 4 2 2 4 1 3 3 3 1 4 2 4 4 3 2 1
To see more clearly that these two tables actually have the same
group structure you'll need to rename the entries
	0		maps to		1
	1		maps to		2
	2		maps to		4
	3		maps to		3
1 + 2 = 3			maps to	2 × 4 = 3

Notice that regardless of the way we notate this group, there is an element that generates the whole group.

$1+1\to 21+2\to 31+3\to 0$
$2\times 2\to 42\times 4\to 32\times 3\to 1$

The other group of order 4

For the following example, image the number 0 through 3 written in binary, then add the digits without any carrying. For example,

 2 +  3 
10 + 11
   01 
   1

Since binary addition (without carry) is isomorphic to $Z_2$ we view this group as being two copies of $Z_2$ joined together. That's where the name comes from.

$Z_2\oplus Z_2$

+	0	1	2	3
0	0	1	2	3
1	1	0	3	2
2	2	3	0	1
3	3	2	1	0

The Group of Order 5

$Z_5$

+	0	1	2	3	4
0	0	1	2	3	4
1	1	2	3	4	0
2	2	3	4	0	1
3	3	4	0	1	2
4	4	0	1	2	3
