The integers and the integers modulo a prime are both groups under addition.
What about the computer representation of integers (e.g. int64)?
It's closed under addition, since a sum that is too large wraps around to the negatives. It also inherits the other group properties from the integers (associativity, identity, inverse).
So int64 seems like a finite group, but am I missing anything?
