Note on the Number of Finite Groups of a Given Order

Abstract: Let

n

be a positive integer and

G (n)

denote the number of non-isomorphic finite groups of order

n

. It is well-known that

G (n) = 1

if and only if

(n, p h i (n)) = 1

, where

p h i (n)

and

(a, b)

denote the Euler's totient function and the greatest common divisor of

a

and

b

, respectively. The aim of this paper is to first present a new proof for the case of

G (n) = 2

and then give a solution to the equation of

G (n) = 3

.
