Homework Statement
How many elements of each cycle-type are there in S5?
The Attempt at a Solution
One way of working this out would be to write out each permutation and see how many 2-cycles, 3-cycles ,4-cycles and 5-cycles there are but given that there are 5! permutations this would take very long.
Does anybody know of an easier way to see the answer?
