The abelian groups of order 24 are C3xC8, C2xC12, C2xC2xC6. There are other 12 non-abelian groups of order 24
Since 121 is the square of a prime, there are only two distinct isomorphic groups.
7 groups, use the structure theorem
Yes, a non-abelian group can have a torsion subgroup. A torsion subgroup is defined as the set of elements in a group that have finite order. Many non-abelian groups, such as the symmetric group ( S_3 ), contain elements of finite order, thus forming a torsion subgroup. Therefore, the existence of a torsion subgroup is not restricted to abelian groups.
If ( G ) is an abelian group of order ( PS ), where ( P ) and ( S ) are distinct primes, then by the Fundamental Theorem of Finite Abelian Groups, ( G ) can be expressed as a direct product of cyclic groups of prime power order. The possible structures for ( G ) are ( \mathbb{Z}/PS\mathbb{Z} ) or ( \mathbb{Z}/P^k\mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{Z}/S^m\mathbb{Z} ) with ( k ) and ( m ) both ( 1 ). However, since ( P ) and ( S ) are distinct primes, the only way for ( G ) to maintain order ( PS ) while being abelian is for it to be isomorphic to ( \mathbb{Z}/PS\mathbb{Z} ), which is cyclic. Thus, ( G ) must be cyclic.
There are 5 groups of order 8 up to isomorphism. 3 abelian ones (C8, C4xC2, C2xC2xC2) and 2 non-abelian ones (dihedral group D8 and quaternion group Q)
There are two: the cyclic group (C10) and the dihedral group (D10).
By LaGrange's Thm., the order of an element of a group must divide the order of the group. Since 3 is prime, up to isomorphism, the only group of order three is {1,x,x^2} where x^3=1. Note that this is a finite cyclic group. Since all cyclic groups are abelian, because they can be modeled by addition mod an integer, the group of order 3 is abelian.
D2, the dihedral group of order 4, consists of rotations and reflections of a square, while Z12, the cyclic group of order 12, is generated by the addition of integers modulo 12. D2 is not cyclic, as it cannot be generated by a single element, whereas Z12 is cyclic, generated by 1. Furthermore, the structure of the groups differs: D2 has elements of order 2 (the reflections) and elements of order 4 (the rotations), while Z12 has elements of various orders that are consistent with a cyclic structure. Hence, their different algebraic structures confirm that D2 and Z12 are not isomorphic.
The non-abelian group of smallest order (six elements) is the symmetric group S3. This group consists of all possible permutations of three elements, and it is non-abelian because the composition of permutations does not commute in general. It is the smallest non-abelian group because any group with fewer than six elements is either abelian or not a group.
It can't be either, because the rationals aren't order isomorphic to the integers.
