Question:

Show, using Exercise 13, that (a, b: a3 = 1 b2 = 1, ba = a2b) gives a group of order 6. Show that it is nonabelian.


Data from Exercise 13

Let S = {aibj|0 ≤ i < m, 0 ≤ j < n}, that is, S consists of all formal products aibstarting with a0b0 and ending with am-1bn-1. Let r be a positive integer, and define multiplication on S by (asbt)(aubv) = axby, where x is the remainder of s + u(rt) when divided by m, and y is the remainder of  t + v when divided by n, in the sense of the division algorithm.
