A cyclic group is a type of group in which every element can be expressed as a power (or multiple) of a single element, known as a generator. In more formal terms, a group \\( G \\) is called cyclic if there exists an element \\( g \\in G \\) such that every element \\( a \\in G \\) can be written as \\( g^n \\) for some integer \\( n \\).
