Always true. Suppose . If is nontrivial, let be the least positive integer with . For any , divide with . Since , minimality forces . Hence is a cyclic group. The trivial subgroup is cyclic as well. Every coset in is , so the quotient group is generated by . This proves the subgroups and quotients of a cyclic group assertion.
