square of only one of its prime factors when one and only one prime factor
of g is congruent to unity with respect to one and only one other such fac-
tor and the latter is different from p, and none of the prime factors of g
divides p + 1. When g is not divisible by the square of a prime number
and there are exactly four groups of order g, then g involves either one and
only one prime factor which is congruent to unity with respect to another
of its prime factors and this is thus congruent to exactly two such factors,
or it involves two and only two prime factors such that each of them is
congruent to unity with respect to one and only one other such factor
but not with respect to the same other factor while none of its factors
besides the two given ones is congruent to unity with respect to such a
factor, and the larger of these two is not congruent to unity with respect
to the smaller. Hence there are eight and only eight numbers less than
100 each of which is the order of exactly four groups. These numbers are
as follows: 28, 30, 44, 63, 66, 70, 76 and 92.
