We can regard $(\mathbb{Z}_n,+)$ as rotation group of polygon. However, is there any geometric representation of \begin{align} \mathbb{Z}_n^\times=\{\overline{a}\in \mathbb{Z}_n\mid {\rm gcd}(a,n)=1\}? \end{align}
Geometric representation of $\mathbb{Z}_n^\times$ .

0If addition is sliding / translating / rotating, then multiplication is most naturally seen as scaling. – 2017-01-24

The multiplicative group of integers modulo $n$ can be visualized by constructing its cycle graph, see here.
