COMMENTS

For any finite group G with order n we have that if A is the character table then |det(A)|^2 = product i (n/c(i)) where the product is over the conjugacy classes of G: c(i), so by this formula the square of the determinant is an integer (in the case of dihedral groups the characters are real).
