A metacyclic group is a specific type of group in group theory, which is a branch of mathematics. More precisely, it is a particular kind of solvable group that has a structure related to cyclic groups. A group \( G \) is called metacyclic if it has a normal subgroup \( N \) that is cyclic, and the quotient group \( G/N \) is also cyclic.
