Group of order $6p^m$ is solvable for prime $pgeq 7$
$begingroup$
Let $pgeq 7$ be a prime and $m$ be a positive integer. Prove that group of order $6p^m$ is solvable.
Attempt:
By Sylow's theorems we have that $n_p mid 6$ so $n_pin {1,2,3,6}$ where $n_p$ is the number of Sylow $p$ groups. Also we have that $n_p equiv 1 pmod p$ so $n_p=1$ and is thus normal. So we investigate:
$$Gtrianglerighteq H_p$$
Where $H_p$ denotes the Sylow $p$ group. We know that $|G/H_p|=6$ and there are two groups of order $6$: $Bbb Z_6$ and $S_3$. Both are solvable. We also know that Sylow groups are solvable. Since $G/H_p$ is solvable and $H_p$ is solvable, $G$ is solvable.
Is this correct?

Well, as you've noticed denoting as $;S_7;$ a Sylow subgroup is a very bad idea...so edit your question and change it!

By the way, there's no need to take $pge 7$. The result holds for all primes $p$. For $p=2,3$ this follows from Burnside's $p^aq^b$ theorem. For $p=5$ you additionally use the result that any group of order divisible by 2 but not 4 has an index 2 subgroup (of even permutations in the regular representation). And that proof also works for larger $p$ as well, and so is another solution to the original question
