Definition

This group is defined as the dicyclic group of order $24$ (hence, degree $6$). In other words, it has the presentation:

$\langle a,b,c\mid a^{6}=b^{2}=c^{2}=abc\rangle$.

Group ID

This finite group has order 24 and has ID 4 among the groups of order 24 in GAP's SmallGroup library. For context, there are groups of order 24. It can thus be defined using GAP's SmallGroup function as:

SmallGroup(24,4)

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

gap> G := SmallGroup(24,4);

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

IdGroup(G) = [24,4]

or just do:

IdGroup(G)

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