Let and . In class order , character orthogonality gives
with class sizes . The rows are orthonormal and their squared degrees sum to , so the table is complete.
A three-dimensional representation of would decompose into irreducibles. Since has irreducible degrees , only one-dimensional constituents could occur, whose restrictions to are trivial. It cannot restrict to either irreducible .
