Let p>q be prime numbers. A nonabelian group of order pq has a unique Sylow p-subgroup and exactly p Sylow q-subgroups. Hence the Sylow count satisfies p≡1(modq), so q∣p−1.

Nonabelian group of order 21

Nonabelian group of order pq
Up to isomorphism, the unique nonabelian group of order 21 is
C7​⋊C3​=⟨r,s∣r7=s3=1, srs−1=r2⟩.
(1)
Its nonidentity elements of C7​ form two conjugacy classes of size three, and the other two C7​ cosets form conjugacy classes of size seven.
