Definition

This group of order 40 is a semidirect product $Z_5⋊Q_8$, defined by means of the following presentation:

$⟨a,i,j\mid a^5=i^4=j^4=e,ij{i}^{-1}=j^{-1},ia=ai,ja{j}^{-1}=a^{-1},⟩$

GAP implementation

Group ID

This finite group has order 40 and has ID 4 among the groups of order 40 in GAP's SmallGroup library. For context, there are groups of order 40. It can thus be defined using GAP's SmallGroup function as:

SmallGroup(40,4)

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

gap> G := SmallGroup(40,4);

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

IdGroup(G) = [40,4]

or just do:

IdGroup(G)

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