contents For $n\geq 3$, let $G$ be a nontrivial finite subgroup of $\mathrm{Aut}(F_n)$ with $|G|$ not a power of $2$. We prove that the normal closure $N(G)$ is $\mathrm{SAut}(F_n)$ if $G\subset\mathrm{SAut}(F_n)$ and $N(G)$ is $\mathrm{Aut}(F_n)$ otherwise. When $|G|$ is a power of $2$, we have a partial theorem. Similarly, let $G'$ be a nontrivial finite subgroup of $\mathrm{Out}(F_n)$ with $|G'|$ not a power of $2$. Then the normal closure $N(G')$ is $\mathrm{SOut}(F_n)$ if $G'\subset\mathrm{SOut}(F_n)$ and $N(G')$ is $\mathrm{Out}(F_n)$ otherwise. When $|G'|$ is a power of $2$, we have a partial theorem as well.

For $n\geq 3$, let $G$ be a nontrivial finite subgroup of $\mathrm{Aut}(F_n)$ with $|G|$ not a power of $2$. We prove that the normal closure $N(G)$ is $\mathrm{SAut}(F_n)$ if $G\subset\mathrm{SAut}(F_n)$ and $N(G)$ is $\mathrm{Aut}(F_n)$ otherwise. When $|G|$ is a power of $2$, we have a partial theorem. Similarly, let $G'$ be a nontrivial finite subgroup of $\mathrm{Out}(F_n)$ with $|G'|$ not a power of $2$. Then the normal closure $N(G')$ is $\mathrm{SOut}(F_n)$ if $G'\subset\mathrm{SOut}(F_n)$ and $N(G')$ is $\mathrm{Out}(F_n)$ otherwise. When $|G'|$ is a power of $2$, we have a partial theorem as well.
