Solution Preview
There is a theorem stating that for an extension like this:
1-->H-->G-->M-->1
If H is an abelian group then all the extensions can be found through analyzing the second homologies in the form of H^2(M, H).
We also know that if m and n are relatively prime then Z_m x Z_n= Z_(mxn).
Well, now we want G such ...
