Let
.
Since the index of the normalizer in G of a Syl7 subgroup must be
36 in a simple group, and all Sylow p-subgroups of single prime power
interesct in the identity, then the Syl3 subgroups must intersect
non-trivially or there would be too many elements in the
group. Therefore, if
then
.
But this subgroup is normal in both H and H' and so the
normailzer of
contains HH'.
We know that
.
Therefore letting
,
we have the following conditions:
,
and
.
So k = 36 and
.
But the normalizer in G of the intersection of these Sylow
subgroups is a subgroup in G with index 4.
must divide
4! and here is our contradiction. G can not be simple!
