Let G be a nilpotent group of class at most s in which every element has order at most r. A subgroup generated by k elements has order at most
rsks.
(1)
Indeed, collection by the lower central series expresses every element as an ordered product of simple group commutators in the generators of weights at most s. There are at most k+k2+⋯+ks≤sks such commutators, and each exponent may be reduced to one of at most r values.
