The authors present yet another proof of the well-known fact that \(\mathbb{Z}_n\) is the unique group of order \(n\) iff \((n, \varphi(n)) = 1\), \(\varphi\) Euler's function. A similar, and even more detailed, proof was recently published by \textit{D. Jungnickel} [in Am. Math. Mon. 99, No. 6, 545-547 (1992; Zbl 0779.20011)].
