Abstract: We calculated the coefficient groups of equivariant $ K$-theory for any cyclic group, and we proved that, for any compact Lie group, the coefficient groups can only have $ 2$-torsion. If there is any $ 2$-torsion, it is detected by $ 2$-primary finite subgroups of $ G$. The rationalization of the coefficient groups then can be easily calculated.
