How can I find all natural numbers so that there are (up to isomorphism) exactly 10 abelian groups of order n?

How can I use the main theorem about finite abelian groups to determine those numbers?

  • $\begingroup$ Start by finding out how many abelian group there are of order $p^a$ for prime $p$. $\endgroup$ Nov 23, 2017 at 10:13
  • $\begingroup$ @GerryMyerson isn't that the number of partitions? For n =1 it's 1, for n=2 it's 2, for n=3 it's 3, for n=4 it's 5... And so on? $\endgroup$ Nov 23, 2017 at 10:18

    $\begingroup$ There are only so many ways to multiply together vaues of the partition function to get 10. $\endgroup$ Nov 24, 2017 at 5:58
