 | | Conway, J. A perfect group of order 8,315,553,613,086,720,000 and the sporadic simple groups. |
 | | The largest, Co (of order 8,315,553,613,086,720,000), is obtained by dividing the automorphism group of Λ by its center, which consists of the scalar matrices ±1. |
 | | The groups Co and Co both contain the McLaughlin group McL (of order 898,128,000) and the Higman-Sims group (of order 44,352,000), which can be described as the pointwise stabilizers of a 2-2-√6 triangle and a 2-√6-√6 triangle respectively. |
