Write the nonabelian group of order 21 asreplacing by gives the same group. Conjugation by splits the six nonidentity elements of the normal subgroup into the two classesEach of the two other cosets is one conjugacy class:Thus the class sizes are , so there are five irreducible characters.
The abelianization is , giving three linear characters. Put and , and defineThe two nontrivial orbits of characters of the normal induce two irreducible characters of degree three. Their values vanish outside , and summing each orbit gives on the two nonidentity classes. The resulting character table isThe degree checkand character orthogonality relations verify that this is the complete table.
