%X Irreducible representations of a group provide the ways for labelling orbitals, determining molecular orbitals formation and determining vibrational motions for a molecule. A set of irreducible representations represents the ways a particular bond, atom or sets of atoms may respond to a given set of symmetry operations. In this paper, the irreducible representations of all groups of order 8, namely D4, Q, C8, C2 กม C4 and C2 กม C2 กม C2 are obtained using Burnside method and Great Orthogonality Theorem method. Then, comparisons of the two methods are made.
