This group is defined as the projective special linear group of degree two over field:F17.

Arithmetic functions

Function	Value	Similar groups	Explanation
order (number of elements, equivalently, cardinality or size of underlying set)	2448	groups with same order	As $\!PSL(2,q),q=17$, $q$ odd: $\!(q^{3}-q)/2=q(q+1)(q-1)/2=(17^{3}-17)/2=(17)(16)(18)/2=2448$. See element structure of projective special linear group of degree two.
exponent of a group	1224	groups with same order and exponent of a group | groups with same exponent of a group	As $\!PSL(2,q),q=17$, $q$ odd: $(q^{3}-q)/4=q(q+1)(q-1)/4=(17^{3}-17)/4=(17)(18)(16)/4=1224$. See element structure of projective special linear group of degree two.

Arithmetic functions of a counting nature

Function	Value	Explanation
