Abstract
For every non-nilpotent finite group , there exists at least one proper subgroup such that is the setwise product of a finite number of conjugates of . We define to be the smallest number such that is a product, in some order, of pairwise conjugated proper subgroups of . We prove that if is non-solvable then while if is solvable then can attain any integer value bigger than , while, on the other hand, .
