Definition

Let G be a finite group. A subgroup H of the automorphism group Aut(G) is termed a coprime automorphism group of G if the orders of G and H are relatively prime.

Note that the whole group <math\operatorname{Aut}(G)</math> is very rarely coprime to G in order. Further information: Coprime automorphism group implies cyclic with order a cyclicity-forcing number
