Interesting fact: These are the OEIS lists of number of distinct groups of order n: number of groups, number of abelian groups, number of non-abelian groups
Examples
- $ latex (\Bbb C- \{0\},.)$, where
refers to multiplication of complex numbers.
- Integers modulo n,
, the symmetric group.
- Any group of order < 6
- Any group of order
where
is prime.
- Any cyclic group is abelian.
- Any group of prime order is cyclic and hence abelian.
