Lagrange's Theorem: Why Subgroup Orders Divide Group Orders

We prove Lagrange's theorem — the fundamental result that the order of a subgroup divides the order of the group — and explore its many consequences, from Fermat's little theorem to the structure theory of finite groups.

We survey the Classification of Finite Simple Groups — the monumental theorem that catalogs every possible finite simple group — covering its structure, history, and significance as perhaps the longest proof in the history of mathematics.
