Quick summary

Item	Value
Number of subgroups	942
Number of conjugacy classes of subgroups	16
Number of automorphism classes of subgroups	?
Isomorphism classes of Sylow subgroups and the corresponding fusion systems and Sylow numbers	2-Sylow: Klein four-group, fusion system is simple fusion system for Klein four-group, Sylow number is 91 3-Sylow: cyclic group:Z3, Sylow number is 91 7-Sylow: cyclic group:Z7, Sylow number is 78 13-Sylow: cyclic group:Z13, Sylow number is 14
Hall subgroups	Other than the whole group, the trivial subgroup, and the Sylow subgroups, there are $\{2,3\}$-Hall subgroups (of order 12) and $\{2,3,5\}$-Hall subgroups (of order 60) and $\{3,13\}$-Hall subgroups (of order 39)
maximal subgroups	maximal subgroups have orders 12, 14, 78.
normal subgroups	only the whole group and the trivial subgroup, because the group is simple. See projective special linear group is simple (with a couple of small exceptions, but this isn't one of them)
subgroups that are simple non-abelian groups (apart from the whole group itself)	None. The group is a minimal simple group, because it is of the form $PSL(2,p)$, $p$ prime, $p>3$, and $5\mid p^{2}+1$. See classification of finite minimal simple groups.

GAP implementation

Group ID

This finite group has order 1092 and has ID 25 among the groups of order 1092 in GAP's SmallGroup library. For context, there are groups of order 1092. It can thus be defined using GAP's SmallGroup function as:

SmallGroup(1092,25)

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

gap> G := SmallGroup(1092,25);

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

IdGroup(G) = [1092,25]

or just do:

IdGroup(G)

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