Prove that a group of order 108 must have a normal subgroup of order 9 or 27.

Solution:- Let be a group of order 108 . Then

The number of 3-Sylow subgroups of is of the form and

For
which imply that

If then there exists only one 3-sylow subgroup of , which is of order 27 and hence it is normal in .

If , then then there exists ...
