Introduction;
In mathematics, the symmetric group on a set is the group consisting of all bijections of the
set (all one-to-one and onto functions) from the set to itself with function composition as the group
operation, and denoted Sn.
The symmetric group is important to diverse areas of mathematics such as Galois theory,
invariant theory, the representation theory of Lie groups, and combinatory. Cayley's theorem
states that every group G is isomorphic to a subgroup of the symmetric group on G.
The symmetric group on a set of n elements has order n!. It is abelian if and only if n ≤ 2. For
n = 0 and n = 1 (the empty set and the singleton set) the symmetric group is trivial (note that this
agrees with 0! = 1! = 1), and in these cases the alternating group equals the symmetric group,
rather than being an index two subgroups.
The symmetric group on a set of size n is the Galois group of the general polynomial of
degree n and plays an important role in Galois theory. In the representation theory of Lie groups,
the representation theory of the symmetric group plays a fundamental role through the ideas of
Schur functors. In the theory of Coxeter groups, the symmetric group is the Coxeter group of type
An and occurs as the Weyl group of the general linear group. In combinatorics, the symmetric
groups, their elements (permutations). Subgroups of symmetric groups are called permutation
groups and are widely studied because of their importance in understanding group actions,
homogenous spaces, and automorphism groups of graphs.

Definition(3-1): Let be the set of all maps from the five elements set {1, 2, 3,4,5} to itself, (S5 ,
o) is a symmetric group under the operations of composition of maps 'o'.
Remarks(4-1);
1) (S5 , o) is not commutative group.
2) The symmetric group (S5 , o) is the group of all permutations of 5 elements. It has 5!=120
elements .
3) There are subgroups of (S5 , o), including the group itself and the small subgroups.
Example(5-1):
The group (A5 , o) , which has order 60 .
Let p = 4 , q = 3.5 = 15 , clear 4†15
60 = 4. 15 = 4.3.5
have subgroups of order 4 , 3 and 5 .
Definition(5-1): Let be the set of all maps from the five elements set to itself, is a symmetric
group under the operations of composition of maps 'o'.

Remarks(6-1);
(S5 , o) is a group. The elements with identity of (S5 , o) of the form
1) n=5 , r=2 , n−r=3 (nǃ/r(n−r)ǃ) = 10 cycle of two elements.
2) n=5 , r=3 , n−r=2 (nǃ/r(n−r)ǃ) = 20 cycle of tree elements.
3) n=5 , r=4 , n−r=1 (nǃ/r(n−r)ǃ) = 30 cycle of four elements.
There are 30/2=15 cycle of 2×2elements.
4) n=5 , r=5 , n−r=0 (nǃ/r(n−r)ǃ) = 24 cycle of five elements.
There are (24/2) + (24/3)=20 cycle of 2×3elements.
