A "simple" question about isomorphisms
I was pondering the following question: Suppose we are given two finite groups, G and H, of order n with the property that for all m in {1,2,3,...,n}, if G has a(m) elements of order m, then so does H. Are G and H isomorphic?
Now, this seems like a natural question to ask, yet I cannot find, anywhere I look, anything about this being true or false. I would love if somebody could point me in the direction of a proof to the affirmative, or give a nice counterexample.
Thanks, in advance.
