There are, up to isomorphism, six groups of order 42, indicated in the table below:

Group GAP ID (second part) Abelian?
General affine group:GA(1,7), also known as F7 1 No
direct product of Z2 and the semidirect product of Z7 and Z3 2 No
direct product of S3 and Z7 3 No
direct product of D14 and Z3 4 No
dihedral group:D42 5 No
cyclic group:Z42 6 Yes

Minimal order attaining number

42 is the smallest number such that there are precisely 6 groups of that order up to isomorphism. That is, the value of the minimal order attaining function at 6 is 42.
