The Abelian group criterion for a product of two prime squares applies because and . Here its Sylow theorems proof is especially short:The candidates for are , of which only has the required remainder. The candidates for are , again leaving only . Thus both Sylow subgroups are normal subgroups. Their group commutators lie in , and , so . Both factors are abelian groups of prime-square order by (a).
The Fundamental theorem of finitely generated abelian groups gives preciselyThese four groups are pairwise nonisomorphic: their characteristic Sylow subgroups differ in whether they contain an element of order or . The first is also the cyclic group .
