The number of m-cycle in(n>=m) is given by
.
For, the groups generated by all 3-cylces (order 3) that I found are
<(1 2 3)>, <(1 2 4)>, <(1 3 4)>, <(2 3 4)>,
<(1 3 2)>, <(1 4 2)>, <(1 4 3)>, <(2 4 3) >
According to the third Sylow theorem, the number of Sylow 3-subgroups is congruent 1 modulo p and divides |G|. Since |G|=24 and p=3, the number of Sylow 3-subgroup should be only 4.
I think the above eight groups generated by 3-cycles are all Sylow 3-subgroups and the number is 8. What went wrong in my procedure?
----------------------------------------
My mistake. Four subgroups are right. <(1 2 3)>, <(1 2 4)>, <(1 3 4)>, <(2 3 4)>
Other groups are equivalent to those four subgroups.
