Assuming choice, every nonempty set admits a group operation. A finite set receives a cyclic group structure. For an infinite set, a maximal partial group obtained by Zorn has infinite carrier with smaller complement; infinite-cardinal doubling implies the whole set is equipotent with . Transport its operation along a bijection . This final group need not extend a previously chosen partial group on its original subset; transport changes labels and only asserts existence.
