- = 145926144000
- ≈ 1011.
Ru is one of the six sporadic simple groups called the pariahs, because they are not found within the Monster group (Griess 1983, p. 91).

Famous quotes containing the word group:
“We begin with friendships, and all our youth is a reconnoitering and recruiting of the holy fraternity they shall combine for the salvation of men. But so the remoter stars seem a nebula of united light, yet there is no group which a telescope will not resolve; and the dearest friends are separated by impassable gulfs.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
