A group is simple if its only normal subgroups are and . A nonabelian simple group is not solvable: is not (else abelian), so and the derived series is constant. The abelian simple groups are exactly the , prime (an abelian group is simple iff it has no proper nontrivial subgroup, iff it is cyclic of prime order by Lagrange).
