Question:

Use the methods of this section and Exercise 13, part (b ), to show that there are no nonabelian groups of order 15.


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 (Theorem 6.3).
