My math knowledge is poor and maybe I misunderstood you,
but, if you have a subgroup (of whatever order) of a cyclic
group, then it is also cyclic and there must be an element
of it that generates that subgroup and that element is by
definition a generator of that subgroup. Or am I missing
something?
