\section{Proof of the Fundamental Theorem}
\begin{lemma}
Let $G$ be a finite Abelian group of order $p^nm$, where $p$ is a prime that does not divide $m$. Then $G = H \times K$, where $H = \{x \in G\ \vert\ x^{p^n} =e\}$ and $K =\{x \in G\ \vert\ x^m = e\}$. Moreover, $\abs{H}=p^n$.
\end{lemma}
\begin{lemma}
Let $G$ be an Abelian group of prime-power order and let $a$ be an element of maximum order in $G$. Then $G$ can be written in the form $\lr{a} \times K$.
\end{lemma}
\begin{lemma}
A finite Abelian group of prime-power order is an internal direct product of cyclic groups.
\end{lemma}
\begin{lemma}
Suppose that $G$ is a finite Abelian group of prime-power order. If $G=H_1 \times H_2 \times \dots \times H_m$ and $G=K_1 \times K_2 \times \dots \times K_n$, where the $H$'s and $K$'s are nontrivial cyclic subgroups with $\abs{H_1} \geq \abs{H_2} \geq \dots \geq \abs{H_m}$ and $\abs{K_1} \geq \abs{K_2} \geq \dots \geq \abs{K_n}$, then $m=n$ and $\abs{H_i} = \abs{K_i}$ for all $i$.

\section{The Fundamental Theorem}
\begin{theorem}[Fundamental Theorem of Finite Abelian Groups]
Every finite Abelian group is a direct product of cyclic groups of prime-power order. Moreover, the number of terms in the product and the orders of the cyclic groups are uniquely determined by the group.

\section{The Isomorphism Classes of Abelian Groups}
\begin{remark}[Greedy Algorithm for an Abelian Group of Order $\mathbf{p^n}$]
The Fundamental Theorem is extremely powerful. As an application, we can use it as an algorithm for constructing all Abelian groups of any order. Let's look at Abelian groups of a certain order $n$, where $n$ has two or more distinct prime divisors.
\begin{enumerate}
\item Compute the orders of the elements of the group $G$
\item Select an element $a_1$ of maximum order and define $G_1 = \lr{a_1}$. Set $i = 1$.
\item If $\abs{G} = \abs{G_i}$, stop. Otherwise, replace $i$ by $i + 1$.
\item Select an element $a_i$ of maximum order $p^k$ such that $p^k \leq \abs{G}/\abs{G_{i-1}}$ and none of $a_i, a^p_i,a^{p^2}_i, \dots, a^{p^{k-1}}_i$ is in $G_{i-1}$, and define $G_i=G_{i-1} \times \lr{a_i}$.
\item Return to step 3.
\end{enumerate}
\end{remark}
\begin{corollary}[Existence of Subgroups of Abelian Groups]
If $m$ divides the order of a finite Abelian group $G$, then $G$ has a subgroup of order $m$.
\end{corollary}
