Order Equal to 396

If $\mid G \mid = 396 = 2^{2} \times 3^{2} \times 11$, then from sylow's Theorem:

\begin{displaymath}\begin{tabular}{\vert c\vert c\vert l\vert} \hline
prime & Sy...
...9 & 1, 4, 22 \\ \hline
11 & 11 & 1, 12 \\ \hline
\end{tabular} \end{displaymath}

If G is simple then n11 = 12. Therefore, $\mid
N_{G}(Syl_{11}) \mid = 33$, and $G \cong \le A_{12}$.


But then NG(Syl11) is abelian, being of order pq, and has a normal Syl11 and a normal Syl3. Therefore, NG(Syl11) is equal to the product of a Syl11 and a Syl3 and so is isomorphic to Z33. But A12 has no subgroups isomorphic to Z33. This is a contradiction. Therefore, n11 = 1 and G is not simple!
