Abstract
Let be a finite group and let be a collection of subsets of such that is the product of all the 's with . We write and call this a -fold factorization of of the form or more briefly an -factorization of . Let be a fixed integer. If has an -factorization, whenever with , , we say that is -factorizable. We say that is multifold-factorizable if is -factorizable for any possible integer . In this paper we prove that there are exactly non-multifold-factorizable groups among the groups of order at most . Here is their complete list: , , , , , . Some related open questions are presented.
