# Thread: Group Theory: finding groups of order 160

1. ## Group Theory: finding groups of order 160

Hey there, I have received a project in my group theory class that requires me to find all the groups of a bunch of orders... the last one being 160. I know that there are 238=2^5 x 5 groups and so the more I get the more extra credit I get on this project. I know some of the Abelian groups that are obvious. I also know that it is a type 32p, p prime. If people could help me with listing groups along with reasoning that would be great.

Thank you
Ghost

2. Here is a site you might find handy if you can open a zip file. This site lists of them up to 1000. All 238 of yours are there. Problem is, opening the file.

Generators of Small Groups

I managed to unzip the file. It is too big to post on the forum.

3. Thank you so much that helped a bunch... now all i have to do is find reasons for them

You might want to include the dihedral group. The nice property of this group is that it exists for every even order $\geq 6$ and it not abelian. So if you are looking for non-obvious groups i.e. non-abelian you can get many examples using the dihedral group.
