%N The orders of 4-transitive permutation groups.

%C The 4-transitive permutation groups are either: 1) symmetric groups of degree k for k >= 4, with order k! = A000142(k); 2) alternating groups of degree k for k >= 6, with order k!/2 = A001710(k); or 3) Mathieu groups of degree 11, 12, 23, or 24, with order A001228(k), where k = 1, 2, 6, or 9 respectively.
