Show that $x$ has a multiplicative inverse mod $n$ iff $\text{gcd}(x, n) = 1$
Show that $x \in \mathbb{Z}^+$ has a multiplicative inverse mod $n$ iff $\text{gcd}(x, n) = 1$

Let $\sigma = (\sigma_1 \sigma_2 ... \sigma_k)$ be a $k$-cycle in $S_n$, and let $\tau$ be an arbitrary element of $S_n$. \par
Show that $\tau \sigma \tau^{-1}$ = $\bigl(\tau(\sigma_1), \tau(\sigma_2), ..., \tau(\sigma_k)\bigr)$ \par
\hint{As usual, $\sigma$ is a permutation. Thus, $\sigma(x)$ is the value at position $x$ after applying $\sigma$.}
\hint{As usual, $\tau$ is a permutation. Thus, $\tau(x)$ is the value at position $x$ after applying $\tau$.}
