By the celebrated theorem of Jordan [3] and Hölder [2], there is associated with each finite group G a family of distinct simple groups Hi. such that every composition series of G has ni factor groups isomorphic to Hi and no others. We denote the collection of pairs (Hi, ni) by CF(G). Conversely, given k pairs (Hi, ni), we may construct by an easy direct product procedure a group G with CF(G) = { (Hi, ni) | i =1,…, k}. The composition factors, of course, do not in general determine the group.
