For a finite group with trivial centre of a group and a prime divisor p of its order, some nonidentity conjugacy class has size coprime to p. Otherwise the class equation would give ∣G∣≡1(modp). Primality is essential: in the symmetric group S3​, neither nonidentity class size is coprime to the composite divisor 6.
