Show solutionHide solution
Solution
Sylow decomposition. Since is abelian, with the Sylow -subgroup (order ) and the Sylow -subgroup (order ).
. Unique abelian group of order : .
. Abelian groups of order : and .
Classification. The abelian groups of order are:
- ;
- .
Conclusion. Two abelian groups of order up to isomorphism.
