This is a problem from Theory and Problems of Group Theory by B.Baumslag and B.Chandler, McGraw-Hill, 1968, belonging to the Schaum's Outline Series. It is problem 7.57, page 244: $G$ is a finitely generated group every element of which has only a finite number of conjugates. Prove that $G'$, the derived group, is finite. (Hint: $\cap C(g_i)=Z(G)$ where the intersection is taken from $i=1$ to $i=n$ if $g_1, ..., g_n$ are the generators of $G$.)
If I could show that $Z(G)$ has finite index then by theorem 7.8 in the book $G'$ is finite. If $C(g_i)$ is of finite index then the intersection, $Z(G)$ if of finite index too.
Also if $G'$ is finitely generated and every element of $G'$ is of finite order then $G'$ is finite. Now $C(g)= {x \in G: xgx^{-1}=g}$ and for $g$ fixed there is a finite number of $xgx^{-1}$. This is all I can see. How can I use the hint?
