Question

Let $S= \{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7\}$ and $⊗$ denote multiplication modulo $8,$ that is, $x ⊗ y= (xy) \mod 8$

Prove that $( \{ 0, 1\}, ⊗)$ is not a group.

Write three distinct groups $(G, ⊗)$ where $G ⊂ S$ and $G$ has $2$ elements.

Answer 1

A $1$ is the identity element. Inverse does not exist for zero. So, it is not a group.

Then how can A be a group?
