Abstract
Let be a prime number. We say that a positive integer is a Sylow -number if there exists a finite group having exactly Sylow -subgroups. When , every odd integer is a Sylow -number. In contrast, when is odd, there exist two positive constants and such that, denoting by the number of Sylow -numbers less than or equal to , Moreover if is the number of positive integers such that is the Sylow -number of some finite solvable group then In particular, when is odd, the natural density of Sylow -numbers is .
