Definition

This group is defined in the following equivalent ways:

1. It is the cyclic group of order $48$.
2. It is the direct product of the cyclic group of order sixteen and the cyclic group of order three.

GAP implementation

Group ID

This finite group has order 48 and has ID 2 among the groups of order 48 in GAP's SmallGroup library. For context, there are groups of order 48. It can thus be defined using GAP's SmallGroup function as:

SmallGroup(48,2)

For instance, we can use the following assignment in GAP to create the group and name it $G$:

gap> G := SmallGroup(48,2);

Conversely, to check whether a given group $G$ is in fact the group we want, we can use GAP's IdGroup function:

IdGroup(G) = [48,2]

or just do:

IdGroup(G)

to have GAP output the group ID, that we can then compare to what we want.

Other descriptions

The group can be defined using GAP's CyclicGroup function:

CyclicGroup(48)
