Jan 1, 2018 at 17:21 comment added S.Lia I have computed using MAGMA that there are no groups of order 240, 200 or 180 with generators with those orders. I would miss only a reference for the statement about the structure of the automorphism group, thank you.

Nov 29, 2017 at 21:44 comment added Peter McNamara re: footnote 1. By the classification of finite simple groups of order dividing 420, if G of order 420 has no abelian quotient, it must have A_5 as a quotient. Then since (7,60)=1, it must be a semi-direct product (Schur–Zassenhaus). Since A_5 can only act trivially on the cyclic group C_7, this must be a direct product.
