Extension of a cyclic group by an abelian group

205 Views Asked by At

What is meant by "an extension of a cyclic group of prime order $p$ by an abelian group of odd order relatively prime to $p$"?

Can it be a semidirect product of a cyclic group of order $p^2$ by an abelian group of order $q$, where $p,q$ are distinct primes greater than 2?
