A nonidentity Möbius transformation of finite order is conjugate to multiplication by a primitive th root of unity. Zero and infinity are fixed; for any other point, a return after iterates requires , whose least positive solution is . Thus its only orbit sizes are one and . For the identity, every orbit has size one. This is a direct orbit computation, independent of an appeal to the orbit-stabilizer theorem.
