Let n ≥ k be integers, k not a prime power. Consider a <strong>cyclic</strong><br />

subgroup<br />

C ⊆ Sym n<br />

in the symmetric group on {1..n}, <strong>of</strong> order k. Then the size <strong>of</strong><br />

any C -orbit α C divides k. We say that C has a regular orbit if<br />

|α C | = |C| for some α ∈ {1..n}.
