Abstract: Let $G$ be a group. The orbits of the natural action of $Aut(G)$ on $G$ are called "automorphism orbits" of $G$, and the number of automorphism orbits of $G$ is denoted by $omega(G)$. Let $G$ be a virtually nilpotent group such that $omega(G)<infty$. We prove that $G=KtimesH$ where $H$ is a torsion subgroup and $K$ is a torsion-free nilpotent radicable characteristic subgroup of $G$. Moreover, we prove that $G^{\text{'}}=DimesTor(G^{\text{'}})$ where $D$ is a torsion-free nilpotent radicable characteristic subgroup. In particular, if the maximum normal torsion subgroup $au(G)$ of $G$ is trivial, then $G^{\text{'}}$ is nilpotent.
