Jan 31, 2023 at 11:45 comment added Nick My apologies. I meant $x'$ and $y$ do not necessarily commute. $x'$ is just some random element of order $p$, not every element of order $p$.
Jan 31, 2023 at 7:07 comment added მამუკა ჯიბლაძე In the first version, $x'yz$ has order $pqr$, right?

Added background
Jan 30, 2023 at 16:32 comment added Nick Thanks for pointing out. I added back the assumption that $|G|$ is divisible by $p,q,r$ to the first power only.

Jan 30, 2023 at 16:28 comment added Achim Krause (in the first version you restrict the primes to be odd, but $\Sigma_{12}$ with $3,5,7$ works just as well.)
Jan 30, 2023 at 16:22 comment added Achim Krause For the rephrased version (which dropped the condition that $p, q, r$ divide $|G|$ to the first power only), I think $G=\Sigma_8$ with $p, q, r$ given by $2, 3,5$ is a counterexample.

does $G$ must -> must $G$

Restating the question in a more clear fashion

removed capitals from title
Jan 30, 2023 at 15:16 comment added LSpice Could you say something about how this condition arises, and why you suspect it might have this consequence? \\ $x$ and $x'$ are unrelated, except that they happen to have the same order? If so, then you might want to change the title slightly, or at least change the notation from $x'$ to something else; "commuting prime order elements" makes it easy to misread the question, though it is precisely stated.
