Abstract

Let nn be a positive integer and G(n)G(n) denote the number of non-isomorphic finite groups of order nn. It is well-known that G(n)=1G(n) = 1 if and only if (n,ϕ(n))=1(n,\phi(n)) = 1, where ϕ(n)\phi(n) and (a,b)(a, b) denote the Euler's totient function and the greatest common divisor of aa and bb, respectively. The aim of this paper is to first present a new proof for the case of G(n)=2G(n) = 2 and then give a solution to the equation of G(n)=3G(n) = 3.
