Let act by left multiplication on the set of left cosets. Every orbit has size a power of , whileis not divisible by . Therefore at least one orbit has size one. If is fixed, then for every , so , equivalentlyThis is Sylow containment from a coset fixed point.
The remaining Sylow theorems state that Sylow -subgroups exist, that any two are conjugate, and that their number satisfies
