Factorization and useful forms
The number 48 has prime factors 2 and 3, and factorization:
Other expressions for this number are:
Group counts
Quantity | Value | Explanation |
---|---|---|
Total number of groups | 52 | |
Number of abelian groups | 5 | (number of abelian groups of order ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Number of nilpotent groups | 14 | (number of groups of order 16) times (number of groups of order 3) = ![]() |
Number of solvable groups | 52 | There are only two prime factors of this number. Order has only two prime factors implies solvable (by Burnside's ![]() |
Number of simple groups | 0 | Follows from all groups of this order being solvable. |

GAP implementation
The order 48 is part of GAP's SmallGroup library. Hence, any group of order 48 can be constructed using the SmallGroup function by specifying its group ID. Also, IdGroup is available, so the group ID of any group of this order can be queried.
Further, the collection of all groups of order 48 can be accessed as a list using GAP's AllSmallGroups function.
Here is GAP's summary information about how it stores groups of this order, accessed using GAP's SmallGroupsInformation function:
gap> SmallGroupsInformation(48); There are 52 groups of order 48. They are sorted by their Frattini factors. 1 has Frattini factor [ 6, 1 ]. 2 has Frattini factor [ 6, 2 ]. 3 has Frattini factor [ 12, 3 ]. 4 - 19 have Frattini factor [ 12, 4 ]. 20 - 27 have Frattini factor [ 12, 5 ]. 28 - 30 have Frattini factor [ 24, 12 ]. 31 - 33 have Frattini factor [ 24, 13 ]. 34 - 43 have Frattini factor [ 24, 14 ]. 44 - 47 have Frattini factor [ 24, 15 ]. 48 - 52 have trivial Frattini subgroup. For the selection functions the values of the following attributes are precomputed and stored: IsAbelian, IsNilpotentGroup, IsSupersolvableGroup, IsSolvableGroup, LGLength, FrattinifactorSize and FrattinifactorId. This size belongs to layer 2 of the SmallGroups library. IdSmallGroup is available for this size.
