For a finite group and a Sylow subgroup , conjugation by on all Sylow subgroups has stabilizer at : the normal Sylow subgroup of contains every -subgroup of that normalizer. Thus the orbit length is . If every has this index at least , each such orbit length is divisible by , whereas is a singleton orbit. Summing orbit lengths proves the displayed stronger integer congruence.
