There are textbooks and other references that present tables of how many distinct (non-isomorphic) groups exist for each order, for a reasonable range of integers such as n = 1, 2, 3, ... 30. Such a thing here would be a valuable example of concrete information, rather than abstrct wandering around

To echo the comments of Charles Matthews from 2004 and the follow-up in 2007, finite group theory is a well established subject. Focusing entirely on the number of finite groups of given order is misleading.

I don't see any utility in listing the numbers of isomorphism classes of groups of small order, especially since the groups themselves have been listed elsewhere.

For example with n = 8, there is the cyclic abelian group that can be illustated as the one that consists of the eight eighth=roots of -1. Also, there is the
314: 130: 106: 193:. A non-abelian group cannot possibly be isomorphic to an abelian group, hence for n = 8, there are at least two distinct groups in existence. 309: 200: 97: 58: 33: 168:
OK ( three years later): The section on number of groups with a given set was incorrect, so I have replaced it.
