Suppose that a finite soluble group G is the product AB of subgroups A and B. Our question is the following: what conclusions can be made about G if A and B are suitably restricted? First we shall prove that the p–length of G is restricted by the derived lengths of the Sylow p–subgroups of A and B, if A and B are p–closed and p′-closed. Moreover, if in such a group the Sylow p–subgroups of A and B are modular, the p–length of G is at most 1. Next we obtain a general estimate for the derived length of the group G = AB of odd order in terms of the derived lengths of A and B. Furthermore it will be possible to bound the nilpotent length of G and also the p–length of G in terms of other invariants of special subgroups of G.
