Classifying abelian groups of order $56$.

abelian-groupsabstract-algebrafinite-groupsgroup-theory

This is an exercise from Dummit and Foote which asks me to show that the number of abelian groups of order $56$ are $3$ upto isomorphism

However I am getting $4$. I am not able to understand which one of them is isomorphic to the other.

The groups I am getting are:

  1. $$\mathbb{Z_2} \times \mathbb{Z_2} \times \mathbb{Z_2} \times \mathbb{Z_7} \cong \mathbb{Z_2} \times \mathbb{Z_2} \times \mathbb{Z_{14}}$$

  2. $$\mathbb{Z_2} \times \mathbb{Z_4} \times \mathbb{Z_7} \cong \mathbb{Z_2} \times \mathbb{Z_{28}}$$

  3. $$\mathbb{Z_4} \times \mathbb{Z_2} \times \mathbb{Z_7} \cong \mathbb{Z_4} \times \mathbb{Z_{14}}$$

  4. $$\mathbb{Z_8} \times \mathbb{Z_7} \cong \mathbb{Z_{56}}$$

Best Answer

  1. Must be isomorphic to one of the other because 4 doesn't divide 14
