In this paper we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for decomposing the complete multigraph lambda K(n) into cycles of length lambda, and the lambda-fold complete symmetric digraph lambda K(n)*, into directed cycles of length lambda. As a corollary to these results we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for decomposing lambda K(n), (respectively, lambda K(n)*) into cycles (respectively, directed cycles) of prime length.
