find the factor groups of the p group - G and prove that G is solvable , where $|G|= p^a$ , p is prime

G is a p-group -

$|G| = p^a$

p is prime

i need to find the factor groups of G and prove that it is solvable.

what i tried -

EDITED: after watching the comments and investigating I know every element of G is of order $p^i$ where $i<a $.

I try to prove that G is solvable by induction on a.

where $|G| = p^a$

if a = 1 then G is cyclic with prime order so its solvable. and the factors are $G/1$

if a>1 then $G/Z$ is trivial or of order less then a . if it is trivial then what does it mean? and if it is of order less then a then i know G/Z is solvable (from the induction) but how does it help me know G is solvable? and in this case - what are the factor groups?

many thanks

any help will be very appreciated .
