is every finite group abelian or not?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please help me

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that means every finite group abelian

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait That's false, or at least incomplete. For instance, cyclic groups of prime order are counterexamples. I believe those are the only counterexamples, though, so the following should be true: A finite _nonabelian_ group in which every proper subgroup is abelian is not simple.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you so much :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (amistre64):
