Prove that an element has an order in an abelian group

Prove that GG contains an element of order mm.I figured that, if |G|=n|G|=n, then I should interpret the part with the least common multiple as lcm(|x1|,…,|xn|)=mlcm(|x1|,…,|xn|)=m, where xi∈Gxi∈G for 0≤i≤n0≤i≤n, thus, for all such xixi, ∃ai∈N∃ai∈N such that m=|xi|aim=|xi|ai. I guess I should use the fact that |xi||xi| divides |G||G|, so ∃k∈N∃k∈N such that |G|=k|xi||G|=k|xi| for all xi∈Gxi∈G. I'm not really sure how to go from here, in particular how I should use the fact that GG is abelian.

Firstly, the water in the dams hold gravitational potential energy as they are above ground level. the gravitational potential energy is then transferred to kinetic energy as it falls, spinning the turbinethe turbine then spins the generator, which is a large magnet surrounded by metal coils. by doing this, the generator generates electricity. in this action, the energy transfer taken place is kinetic to electric energy
