We end off this chapter with some closing remarks. Firstly, the group $\gen a$
in \cref{lem:lemma-prime-power-order-abelian-groups-factorization} would be a
Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$.

Secondly, this theorem can be derived as a corollary of a more general theorem,
the classfiication of finitely generated abelian groups. This theorem can be
derived as a corollary of a even more general theorem, the classification of
finitely generated modules over a principal ideal domain. We will take up these
theorems in the future, but for now these facts are just interesting to note.
