| Feb 3, 2023 at 22:02 | comment | added | Alex M. | @GerryMyerson: True, but the OP said "A problem which is solved in the case of primes (or prime powers)" - in this case, it is solved for the primes. | |

| Feb 3, 2023 at 17:24 | comment | added | Alex M. | Have finite simple groups not been classified for arbitrary order (not just prime)? | |
