Solution Summary
In this solution, we use Sylow's theorems to prove that no simple groups exist of order 56 or 148.
Solution Preview
First suppose |G| = 56 = 2^3 * 7. We know from Sylow's third theorem that the number of Sylow-2 subgroups of G is congruent to 1 modulo 2 and divides 7, whence there is are either one or seven Sylow-2 subgroups of G, We also know that the number of Sylow-7 subgroups of G is congruent to 1 modulo 7 and ...
