Abstract: The spectrum omega(G) of a finite group G is the set of element orders of G. If Omega is a non-empty subset of the set of natural numbers, h(Omega) stands for the number of isomorphism classes of finite groups G with omega(G)=Omega and put h(G)=h(omega(G)). We say that G is recognizable (by spectrum omega(G)) if h(G)=1. The group G is almost recognizable (resp. nonrecognizable) if 1<h(G)<infty (resp. h(G)=infty). In the present paper, we focus our attention on the projective general linear groups PGL(2,pn), where is a prime, and ngeq1, and we show that these groups cannot be almost recognizable, in other words h(PGL(2,pn))in1,infty. It is also shown that the projective general linear groups PGL(2,7) and PGL(2,9) are nonrecognizable. In this paper a computer program has also been presented in order to find out the primitive prime divisors of an1.
