Popis: We prove a general divisibility theorem that implies, e.g., that, in any group, the number of generating pairs (as well as triples, etc.) is a multiple of the order of the commutator subgroup. Another corollary says that, in any associative ring, the number of Pythagorean triples (as well as four-tuples, etc.) of invertible elements is a multiple of the order of the multiplicative group.
