Any finite group has an even number of elements

In summary, the statement "Any finite group has an even number of elements" is a mathematical theorem that states the number of elements in a finite group will always be even. This statement is important in mathematics because it is a fundamental property of finite groups and is often used in proofs and calculations involving groups. It can be proven using mathematical induction and applies to all types of finite groups without any exceptions.

state whether the following statements are ture or false. give reason for that,
1. any finite group has an even number of elements.
2. there exists a field containing exactly 4 elements.
3. the dimension of a finite dimensional vector space is dividible by the dimension of any subspace.
