Abstract

In this paper, number of conjugacy classes and irreducible characters in a non-abelian group of order 26 are investigated using cycle pattern of elements. Through the exploits of commutator and representation of elements as a product of disjoint cycles, the number of conjugacy classes is obtained which extends some results in literature.
