## Definition

Suppose $G$ is a finite group of order $n$. We say that $G$ is a group having subgroups of all orders dividing the group order if, for any positive divisor $d$ of $n$, there exists a subgroup $H$ of $G$ of order $d$.

## Metaproperties

Metaproperty name Satisfied? Proof Statement with symbols
subgroup-closed group property No Having subgroups of all order dividing the group order is not subgroup-closed It is possible to have a finite group $G$ satisfying this condition and a subgroup $H$ of $G$ that does not satisfy this condition.
quotient-closed group property No Having subgroups of all orders dividing the group order is not quotient-closed It is possible to have a finite group $G$ satisfying this condition and a normal subgroup $H$ of $G$ such that the quotient group $G/H$ does not satisfy the condition.
finite direct product-closed group property Yes Having subgroups of all orders dividing the group order is finite direct product-closed If $G_1$ and $G_2$ are finite groups both satisfying the property, then the external direct product $G_1 \times G_2$ also satisfies the property.
