Exercise 4.5.18 ( A group of order $200$ has a normal Sylow $5$-subgroup)

Prove that a group of order 200 has a normal Sylow 5 -subgroup.

Answers

Proof. Let G be a group of order | G | = 200 = 2 3 5 2 and let n 5 be the number of Sylow 5 -subgroups of G . By Sylow’s Theorem,

n 5 8 and n 5 1 ( 𝑚𝑜𝑑 8 ) .

Thus n 5 { 1 , 2 , 4 , 8 } and n 5 1 ( 𝑚𝑜𝑑 8 ) , thus

n 5 = 1 .

By Corollary 20, the unique Sylow 5 -subgroup of G is normal in G

A group of order 200 has a normal Sylow 5 -subgroup. □
