a
Let Q act by left multiplication on the set G/P of left cosets. Every orbit has size a power of p, while
∣G/P∣
(1)
is not divisible by p. Therefore at least one orbit has size one. If gP is fixed, then qgP=gP for every q∈Q, so g−1Qg≤P, equivalently
Q≤gPg−1.
(2)
This is Sylow containment from a coset fixed point.
The remaining Sylow theorems state that Sylow p-subgroups exist, that any two are conjugate, and that their number np​ satisfies
np​≡1(modp),np​∣∣G∣/∣P∣.​
