Prove that an Abel group whose order doesn’t include square factor is a cyclic group. [closed]
“Prove that an Abel group whose order doesn’t include square factor is a cyclic group.”
How to prove this?
If $G$ is a group which fulfills this condition, can we say
$|G|=p_1p_2...p_n$ (each $p_i$ is different prime number) ?

Hint: By Cauchy's theorem, there is an element $g_p in G$ of order $p$ for each prime $p$ dividing the order of $G$. What is the order of the product of the $g_p$?
The order of the product of the gp is p? So we can say every subgroup of G is circlic group and therefore G is circlic group?
