text: We have seen that, for a fixed value of n, the multiplicative group (U#95;n,#92;dot) is generated by any primitive nth root of unity. In particular, if #92;omega is a primitive 6th root of unity, then #92;omega⁶#61;1, six is the smallest positive integer for which this is true, and U#95;6#61;#92;#123;#92;omega⁰,#92;omega,#92;omega²,#92;omega³,#92;omega⁴,#92;omega⁵#92;#125;. It is easy to see that #92;omega², which is a 6th root of unity, is also a cube root of unity. The same is true of #92;omega⁴. The element #92;omega³ is a square root of unity, whereas #92;omega⁵ is primitive.
