Assume $G = \{1, a,b,c\}$ is a group of order $4$ with identity $1.$ Assume also that $G$ has no elements of order $4$. Show that there is a unique group table for $G$. Also show that $G$ is abelian.
If $G$ is abelian, then the group table matrix must be symmetric. How can I introduce a binary function and show it? I am new in this field, so I am not so familiar. I have proved many other exercises, but it is a little tough (for me).
Can you please help?
Edit: I know every element has order $\leq 3$ , but I do not understand how I will proceed.
