      The object of this note is to observe that it is possible to calculate the order of an element ${\displaystyle A}$ of ${\displaystyle G={\mathit {GL}}(d,q)}$ on average using ${\displaystyle O(d^{3}{\mathsf {log}}\ q)}$ field operations, assuming that ${\displaystyle q^{i}-1}$ has been factorised for ${\displaystyle i\leq d}$.

    • 1999, A. Ehrenfeucht, T. Harju, G. Rozenberg, The Theory of 2-structures, World Scientific, page 15,

      If ${\displaystyle \Delta }$ is a finite group, its cardinality is called the order of ${\displaystyle \Delta }$. The order of an element ${\displaystyle a\in \Delta }$ is defined as the smallest nonnegative integer ${\displaystyle n}$ such that ${\displaystyle a^{n}=1_{\Delta }}$. The second case of the following result is known as Cauchy's theorem.

      Theorem 1.10 Let ${\displaystyle \Delta }$ be a finite group.

      (i) The order of an element ${\displaystyle a\in \Delta }$ divides the order ${\displaystyle |\Delta |}$ of the group.

      (ii) If a prime number ${\displaystyle p}$ divides ${\displaystyle |\Delta |}$, then there exists an element ${\displaystyle a\in \Delta }$ of order ${\displaystyle p}$.

    • 2010, A. R. Vasishta, A. K. Vasishta, Modern Algebra, Krishna Prakashan Media, 60th Edition, page 180,

      Since in a finite group the order of an element must be a divisor of the order of the group, therefore o (a) cannot be 3 and so we must have o (a)=4=the order of the group G.
