Write , . For coprime , Bézout's identity and powers of a primitive -th root give . The degrees of these cyclotomic fields are , and . The natural restriction mapis injective and, by these orders, bijective. Under this product description the subgroups fixing and are the two complementary factors. Together they generate the whole group, so their common fixed field is . By the Fundamental theorem of Galois theory, . This also includes or .
