Order 160

Let \(G\) be a group with order 160. We show that \(G\) is not simple.
Note that \(|G| = 2^5\cdot5\).
By Sylow Theorem (3), we get that \(n_2 \in \{1, 5\}.\)

Case 1. \(n_2 = 1\)

Then, we are done.

Case 2. \(n_2 = 5\)

Let \(G\) act on Syl\(_2(G) = \{P_1, \ldots, P_5\}\) by conjugation.
Consider the corresponding natural homomorphism \(m:G\to S_5\).
By Sylow Theorem (2), ker \(m \neq G\) as the action is transitive.
Assume ker \(m = (1).\) Then, \(m\) is an injective map and thus, \(m(G)\) has \(160\) elements. However \(m(G) \le S_5\) and \(|S_5| = 5!\), a contradiction as \(160\not\mid5!.\) This shows us that ker \(m\) cannot be \((1).\)

Thus, ker \(m\) is a proper nontrivial subgroup of \(G.\)
As kernels of homomorphisms are always normal, we are done!
