Abstract. The classification of finite groups still remains an open problem. The concept of conjugacy provides an insight on the structure of finite groups. It is an equivalence relation which provides a neat algebraic description of the size of each conjugacy class in a finite group. We set to examine the conjugacy and order structures of general linear groups, and special linear groups,
with some restrictions on
. We have also established the special cases of conjugacy classes of
splitting in
and given the conditions of splitting or not splitting.
