Hence $g=g^{rn+sm}=g^{rn}g^{sm}=g^{rn}=x^n$ where $x=g^r$. If $n=$ then $x=g$ is not unique. If $n>1$ then suppose $g=x^n=y^n$. Then $e=x^n(y^{-1})^n=(xy^{-1})^n$ as $G$ is Abelian. If $xy^{-1}\ne e$ then $n$ must divide $m=\mathrm o(G)$, which is impossible as $\gcd(n,m)=1$ and $n>1$. Hence $xy^{-1}=e$ so $x$ is unique. Last edited by Olinguito; January 25th, 2015 at 05:15 AM.
