The degree of a group of permutations of a finite set is the number of elements in the set. The order of a group (of any type) is the number of elements (cardinality) in the group. By Lagrange's theorem, the order of any finite permutation group of degree n must divide n! since n-factorial is the order of the symmetric group S n.
The simplest example is the Klein four-group acting on the vertices of a square, which preserves the partition into diagonals. On the other hand, if a permutation group preserves only trivial partitions, it is transitive, except in the case of the trivial group acting on a 2-element set.
It is common for the point-stabilizer of a rank-3 permutation group acting on one of the orbits to be a rank-3 permutation group. This gives several "chains" of rank-3 permutation groups, such as the Suzuki chain and the chain ending with the Fischer groups. Some unusual rank-3 permutation groups (many from (Liebeck & Saxl 1986)) are listed below.
Combinations and permutations in the mathematical sense are described in several articles. Described together, in-depth: Twelvefold way; Explained separately in a more accessible way: Combination; Permutation; For meanings outside of mathematics, please see both words’ disambiguation pages: Combination (disambiguation) Permutation ...

In mathematics and group theory, a block system for the action of a group G on a set X is a partition of X that is G-invariant. In terms of the associated equivalence relation on X, G-invariance means that x ~ y implies gx ~ gy. for all g ∈ G and all x, y ∈ X. The action of G on X induces a natural action of G on any block system for X.
