The following list in [[mathematics]] contains the [[finite group]]s of small [[order of a group|order]] [[up to]] [[group isomorphism]]. |

|||
The list can be used to determine which known group a given finite group ''G'' is isomorphic to: first determine the order of ''G'', then look up the candidates for that order in the list below. If you know whether ''G'' is abelian or not, some candidates can be eliminated right away. To distinguish between the remaining candidates, look at the orders of your group's elements, and match it with the orders of the candidate group's elements. |

For ''n'' = 1, 2, … the number of nonisomorphic groups of order ''n'' is |
|||
: 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 5, 2, 2, 1, 5, 1, 2, 1, 14, 1, 5, 1, 5, ... {{OEIS|A000001}} |

||
Each group is named by [[#Small Groups Library|Small Groups library]] as G<sub>''o''</sub><sup>''i''</sup>, where ''o'' is the order of the group, and ''i'' is the index used to label the group within that order. |
|||
Common group names: |
|||
* Z<sub>''n''</sub>: the [[cyclic group]] of order ''n'' (often the notation ''C''<sub>''n''</sub> is used, or Z / ''n'' Z). |
|||
* |
* Z<sub>''n''</sub>: the [[cyclic group]] of order ''n'' (the notation C<sub>''n''</sub> is also used; it is isomorphic to the [[additive group]] of '''Z'''/''n'''''Z''') |
||
* |
* Dih<sub>''n''</sub>: the [[dihedral group]] of order 2''n'' (often the notation D<sub>''n''</sub> or D<sub>2''n''</sub> is used) |
||
* |
** K<sub>4</sub>: the [[Klein four-group]] of order 4, same as {{nowrap|Z<sub>2</sub> × Z<sub>2</sub>}} and Dih<sub>2</sub> |
||
* |
* D<sub>2''n''</sub>: the dihedral group of order 2''n'', the same as Dih<sub>''n''</sub> (notation used in section [[#List of small non-abelian groups|List of small non-abelian groups]]) |
||
* S<sub>''n''</sub>: the [[symmetric group]] of degree ''n'', containing the [[factorial|''n''!]] [[permutation]]s of ''n'' elements |
|||
* A<sub>''n''</sub>: the [[alternating group]] of degree ''n'', containing the [[even permutation]]s of ''n'' elements, of order 1 for {{nowrap|1=''n'' = 0, 1}}, and order ''n''!/2 otherwise |
|||
* Dic<sub>''n''</sub> or Q<sub>4''n''</sub>: the [[dicyclic group]] of order 4''n'' |
|||
** Q<sub>8</sub>: the [[quaternion group]] of order 8, also Dic<sub>2</sub> |
|||
The notations Z<sub>''n''</sub> and Dih<sub>''n''</sub> have the advantage that [[point groups in three dimensions]] |
The notations Z<sub>''n''</sub> and Dih<sub>''n''</sub> have the advantage that [[point groups in three dimensions]] C<sub>''n''</sub> and D<sub>''n''</sub> do not have the same notation. There are more [[isometry group]]s than these two, of the same abstract group type. |
||
The notation ''G'' |
The notation {{nowrap|''G'' × ''H''}} denotes the [[direct product of groups|direct product]] of the two groups; ''G''<sup>''n''</sup> denotes the direct product of a group with itself ''n'' times. ''G'' ⋊ ''H'' denotes a [[semidirect product]] where ''H'' [[group action|acts]] on ''G''; this may also depend on the choice of action of ''H'' on ''G''. |
||
[[Abelian group|Abelian]] and [[simple group]]s are noted. (For groups of order {{nowrap|''n'' < 60}}, the simple groups are precisely the cyclic groups Z<sub>''n''</sub>, for [[prime number|prime]] ''n''.) The equality sign ("=") denotes isomorphism. |
|||
The identity element in the [[cycle graph (algebra)|cycle graphs]] is represented by the black circle. The lowest order for which the cycle graph does not uniquely represent a group is order 16. |

The [[identity element]] in the [[cycle graph (algebra)|cycle graphs]] is represented by the black circle. The lowest order for which the cycle graph does not uniquely represent a group is order 16. |
|||
In the lists of subgroups the trivial group and the group itself are not listed. Where there are multiple isomorphic subgroups, their number is indicated in parentheses. |

Small groups of [[prime power]] order ''p''<sup>''n''</sup> are given as follows: |

<tr> |

*Order ''p'': The only group is cyclic. |
|||
<td>[[Quaternion group]], ''Q''<sub>8</sub> = Dic<sub>2</sub> </td> |
|||
*Order ''p''<sup>2</sup>: There are just two groups, both abelian. |
|||
<td> Z<sub>4</sub> (3), Z<sub>2</sub></td> |
|||
*Order ''p''<sup>3</sup>: There are three abelian groups, and two non-abelian groups. One of the non-abelian groups is the semidirect product of a normal cyclic subgroup of order ''p''<sup>2</sup> by a cyclic group of order ''p''. The other is the quaternion group for {{nowrap|1=''p'' = 2}} and a group of exponent ''p'' for {{nowrap|''p'' > 2}}. |

|||
</tr> |
|||
Most groups of small order have a Sylow ''p'' subgroup ''P'' with a [[normal p-complement|normal ''p''-complement]] ''N'' for some prime ''p'' dividing the order, so can be classified in terms of the possible primes ''p'', ''p''-groups ''P'', groups ''N'', and actions of ''P'' on ''N''. In some sense this reduces the classification of these groups to the classification of ''p''-groups. Some of the small groups that do not have a normal ''p''-complement include: |
|||
<tr> |
|||
*Order 24: The symmetric group S<sub>4</sub> |

The following list in mathematics contains the finite groups of small order up to group isomorphism.
Counts
[edit]For n = 1, 2, … the number of nonisomorphic groups of order n is
For labeled groups, see OEIS: A034383.
Glossary
[edit]Each group is named by Small Groups library as Goi, where o is the order of the group, and i is the index used to label the group within that order.
Common group names:
- Zn: the cyclic group of order n (the notation Cn is also used; it is isomorphic to the additive group of Z/nZ)
- Dihn: the dihedral group of order 2n (often the notation Dn or D2n is used)
- K4: the Klein four-group of order 4, same as Z2 × Z2 and Dih2
- D2n: the dihedral group of order 2n, the same as Dihn (notation used in section List of small non-abelian groups)
- Sn: the symmetric group of degree n, containing the n! permutations of n elements
- An: the alternating group of degree n, containing the even permutations of n elements, of order 1 for n = 0, 1, and order n!/2 otherwise
- Dicn or Q4n: the dicyclic group of order 4n
- Q8: the quaternion group of order 8, also Dic2
The notations Zn and Dihn have the advantage that point groups in three dimensions Cn and Dn do not have the same notation. There are more isometry groups than these two, of the same abstract group type.
The notation G × H denotes the direct product of the two groups; Gn denotes the direct product of a group with itself n times. G ⋊ H denotes a semidirect product where H acts on G; this may also depend on the choice of action of H on G.
Abelian and simple groups are noted. (For groups of order n < 60, the simple groups are precisely the cyclic groups Zn, for prime n.) The equality sign ("=") denotes isomorphism.
The identity element in the cycle graphs is represented by the black circle. The lowest order for which the cycle graph does not uniquely represent a group is order 16.
In the lists of subgroups, the trivial group and the group itself are not listed. Where there are several isomorphic subgroups, the number of such subgroups is indicated in parentheses.
Angle brackets <relations> show the presentation of a group.
List of small abelian groups
[edit]The finite abelian groups are either cyclic groups, or direct products thereof; see Abelian group. The numbers of nonisomorphic abelian groups of orders n = 1, 2, ... are
For labeled abelian groups, see OEIS: A034382.

List of small non-abelian groups
[edit]The numbers of non-abelian groups, by order, are counted by (sequence A060689 in the OEIS). However, many orders have no non-abelian groups. The orders for which a non-abelian group exists are
- 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 21, 22, 24, 26, 27, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 39, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, ... (sequence A060652 in the OEIS)

Classifying groups of small order
[edit]Small groups of prime power order pn are given as follows:
- Order p: The only group is cyclic.
- Order p2: There are just two groups, both abelian.
- Order p3: There are three abelian groups, and two non-abelian groups. One of the non-abelian groups is the semidirect product of a normal cyclic subgroup of order p2 by a cyclic group of order p. The other is the quaternion group for p = 2 and a group of exponent p for p > 2.
- Order p4: The classification is complicated, and gets much harder as the exponent of p increases.
Most groups of small order have a Sylow p subgroup P with a normal p-complement N for some prime p dividing the order, so can be classified in terms of the possible primes p, p-groups P, groups N, and actions of P on N. In some sense this reduces the classification of these groups to the classification of p-groups. Some of the small groups that do not have a normal p-complement include:
- Order 24: The symmetric group S4
- Order 48: The binary octahedral group and the product S4 × Z2
- Order 60: The alternating group A5.
The smallest order for which it is not known how many nonisomorphic groups there are is 2048 = 211.[7]
Small Groups Library
[edit]The GAP computer algebra system contains a package called the "Small Groups library," which provides access to descriptions of small order groups. The groups are listed up to isomorphism. At present, the library contains the following groups:[8]
- those of order at most 2000[9] except for order 1024 (423164062 groups in the library; the ones of order 1024 had to be skipped, as there are additional 49487367289 nonisomorphic 2-groups of order 1024[10]);
- those of cubefree order at most 50000 (395 703 groups);
- those of squarefree order;
- those of order pn for n at most 6 and p prime;
- those of order p7 for p = 3, 5, 7, 11 (907 489 groups);
- those of order pqn where qn divides 28, 36, 55 or 74 and p is an arbitrary prime which differs from q;
- those whose orders factorise into at most 3 primes (not necessarily distinct).
It contains explicit descriptions of the available groups in computer readable format.
The smallest order for which the Small Groups library does not have information is 1024.
