Show there are are no simple groups of order 1638

94 Views Asked by At

I'm trying to use Sylow Theory to show there are no simple groups of order 1638. I got so far as to factor $1638 = 2*3^2*7*13$ and compute that we must have $n_2|819$ $n_3 \in \{1,7,3\}$ $n_7 \in \{1,78\}$ and $n_{13} \in \{1,14\}$. But from there none of the usual tricks seem to work. How can I solve this?

Suppose that $n_{13}=14$. Then $G$ embeds as a transitive subgroup of $S_{14}$. The point stabiliser $H$ has order $3^213$ and has a normal subgroup $K$ of order $13$. But the normalizer of $K$ in $S_{13}$ has order $12\times 13$ which is not a multiple of $3^213$.
