Dihedral and dicyclic groups are isoclinic

From Groupprops

Statement

Suppose is an integer. Then, the following two groups are isoclinic groups:

  1. The dicyclic group of degree and order .
  2. The dihedral group of degree and order .

Further, if is odd, the nboth of these are also isoclinic to the dihedral group of degree and order .

Particular cases
