Solvability-forcing number
This article defines a property that can be evaluated for natural numbers
Definition
Symbol-free definition
A natural number is said to be solvability-forcing if it satisfies the following equivalent conditions:
- Every group of that order is solvable
- It has no non-prime divisor which is simple-feasible. In other words, no divisor of it occurs as the order of a simple non-Abelian group

- A number whose order has at most two distinct prime factors. For full proof, refer: Order has only two prime factors implies solvable (also known as Burnside's p^aq^b theorem
- A number whose order is the product of three distinct primes. For full proof, refer: Order is product of three distinct primes implies normal Sylow subgroup
