Summary: In this paper we prove that if \(G\) is a finite group, then the \(k\)-th term of the lower central series is nilpotent if and only if for every \(\gamma_k\)-values \(x, y \in G\) with coprime orders, either \(\pi(o(x)o(y)) \subseteq \pi(o(xy))\) or \(o(x)o(y) \leq o(xy)\). We obtain an analogous version for the derived series of finite solvable groups, but replacing \(\gamma_k\)-values by \(\delta_k\)-values. We will also discuss the existence of normal Sylow subgroups in the derived subgroup in terms of the order of the product of certain elements.
