Extract

It is well known ((1), pp. 120–1) that if G is a finite p–group then the factor group G/G′ is cyclic if and only if G is itself cyclic. A trivial consequence of this fact is that, in such a case, the factor group G′/G″ is the unit group. (As usual, G(r) denotes the rth derived group of the group G.)

We prove the following theorem.
