The first repetition is at 20160 (= 8!/2) and the first proof that there exist two nonisomorphic simple groups of this order was given by the American mathematician Ida May Schottenfels (1869-1942). - David Callan, Nov 21 2006
By the Feit-Thompson theorem, all terms in this sequence are even. - Robin Jones, Dec 25 2023
