Also known as p-primary group, primary group, p-group

In mathematics, specifically group theory, given a prime number p, a '''p-group' is a group in which the order of every element is a power of p. That is, for each element g of a p-group G, there exists a nonnegative integer n such that the product of pn copies of g, and not fewer, is equal to the identity element. The orders of different elements may be different powers of p''.
