All of the following ${p_{i},q_{i}}$are prime numbers, ${n,m,k}$ are pre-assigned integers. Consider the product of cyclic groups $\prod_{1}^{n} \mathbb Z_{p_{i}^{n_{i}}}$ then we **asked the question:** > How many subgroups of order > $\prod_{1}^{n} p_{i}^{m_{i}}$ are > there in the finite product of cyclic > group?$(m_{i} \leqslant n_{i})$ **For the initial problem, it's relatively easier,** > How many subgroups of order $2^k$ in > the product $\mathbb Z_{2^p} \times > \mathbb Z_{2^q}$? $(k \leqslant p \times q)$ It's not considered as a homework problem, I guess. **Back ground** My tutor once stated this problem as some simple application of Sylow Thm and found herself stuck there...
