[parent] groups of small order (Example)

Below is a list of all possible groups per order up to isomorphism.

Groups of prime order:

Groups of prime square order:

  • All groups of order $p^2$ , where $p$ is a prime, are isomorphic to one of the following:

Groups of order 1:

  • trivial group (i.e. $\{ e\}$ ).

Groups of order 6:

Groups of order 8:

  • $C_8$ (Abelian): cyclic group of order 8.
  • $C_4\times C_2$ (Abelian): direct product of two groups of a cyclic group of order 4 and a cyclic group of order 2.
  • $C_2\times C_2\times C_2$ (Abelian): direct product of three groups of a cyclic group of order 2.
  • $D_4$ (non-Abelian): octic group; dihedral group of degree 4.
  • $Q_8$ (non-Abelian): quaternion group.

Groups of order 10:

  • $C_{10}$ (Abelian): cyclic group of order 10.
  • $D_5$ (non-Abelian): dihedral group of degree 5.

Groups of order 12:

  • $C_{12}$ (Abelian): cyclic group of order 12.
  • $C_2\times C_6$ (Abelian).
  • $A_4$ (non-Abelian): alternating group of degree 4.
  • $D_6$ (non-Abelian): dihedral group of degree 6.
  • $\Dic(C_6)$ (non-Abelian): dicyclic group of order 12. This is a generalized quaternion group $Q_{12}$ .

Groups of order 14:

  • $C_{14}$ (Abelian): cyclic group of order 14.
  • $D_7$ (non-Abelian): dihedral group of degree 7.

Groups of order 15:

  • $C_{15}$ (Abelian): cyclic group of order 15.
