Isomorphic modulo multiplication groups can be determined using a particular type of factorizationof as described by Shanks (1993, pp. 92-93). To perform this factorization (denoted ), factor in thestandard form

Now write the factorization of the Totient Function involving each power of an Odd Prime

Now combine terms from the odd and even primes. For example, consider . The only odd prime factor is 13,so factoring gives . The rule for the powers of 2 gives . Combining these two gives . Other explicit values of are given below.
and are isomorphic Iff and are identical. More specifically, the abstract Groupcorresponding to a given can be determined explicitly in terms of a Direct Product ofCyclic Groups of the so-called Characteristic Factors, whose productis denoted . This representation is obtained from as the set of products of largest powers of each factor of . For example, for , the largest power of is and the largest power of 3 is , so thefirst characteristic factor is , leaving (i.e., only powers of two). The largest power remaining is , so the second Characteristic Factor is 2, leaving 2, which is the third and last Characteristic Factor. Therefore, , and the group is isomorphic to .
The following table summarizes the isomorphic modulo multiplication groups for the first few and identifies thecorresponding abstract Group. No is Isomorphic to , , or . However,every finite Abelian Group is isomorphic to a Subgroup of for infinitely many different values of (Shanks 1993, p. 96). Cycle Graphs corresponding to for small are illustrated above, and morecomplicated Cycle Graphs are illustrated by Shanks (1993, pp. 87-92).
