Thanks in advance.</p> http://mathoverflow.net/questions/106909/finite-solvable-group/106914#106914 Answer by User1257 for Finite solvable group User1257 2012-09-11T13:58:29Z 2012-09-11T13:58:29Z <p>We note that the Suzuki groups are only non-Abelian simple groups of order prime to $3$ and $5$ is a prime divisor of the Suzuki groups. Let $G$ be unsolvable group, then $G$ has the following normal series: $1\unlhd K\lhd M\unlhd G$ such that $M/K$ is a non-Abelian simple group (and or $M/K\cong S\times $ $ S\cdot \cdot \cdot \times S$ where $S$ is non-Abelian simple group). As $ 3\nmid |G|$, then $M/K$ is a Suzuki group ( and or $M/K\cong S\times $ $ S\cdot \cdot \cdot \times S$ where $S$ is a Suzuki group). On the other hand $5\nmid |G|$, then $M/K$ is not isomorphic to a Suzuki group (and or $ M/K\ncong S\times $ $S\cdot \cdot \cdot \times S$ where $S$ is a Suzuki group), a contradiction.</p>
