Abstract
A quasigroup is a pair where is a non-empty set and is a binary operation on such that for every there exists a unique such that . Let be a quasigroup. A pair is a commuting pair of if . Recently, it has been shown that every rational number in the interval can be attained as the proportion of ordered pairs that are commuting in some quasigroup. For every positive integer we establish the set of all integers such that there is a quasigroup of order with exactly commuting pairs. This allows us to determine, for a given rational , the spectrum of positive integers for which there is a quasigroup of order whose proportion of commuting pairs is equal to .
