The singleton orbits are exactly . Every other orbit represented by has size by the orbit-stabilizer theorem. Partitioning into its orbits of a group action therefore gives
For the second identity, count
in two ways. Holding fixed gives
Holding fixed gives . Each orbit contributes points, each with stabilizer size , and hence contributes . Thus , proving Burnside lemma:
