Abstract: A group $G$ is said to be factorized into subsets $A_1,A_2,ldots,A_{s}subseteqG$ if every element $g$ in $G$ can be uniquely represented as $g=g_1{g}_{2}ldots{g}_s$, where $g_{i}in{A}_i$, $i=1,2,ldots,s$. We consider the following conjecture: for every finite group $G$ and every factorization $n=ab$ of its order, there is a factorization $G=AB$ with $|A|=a$ and $|B|=b$. We show that a minimal counterexample to this conjecture must be a nonabelian simple group and prove the conjecture for every finite group the nonabelian composition factors of which have orders less than $10,000$.
