Subgroup ($H$) information
| Description: | $D_{42}:C_8$ | 
| Order: | \(672\)\(\medspace = 2^{5} \cdot 3 \cdot 7 \) | 
| Index: | \(2\) | 
| Exponent: | \(168\)\(\medspace = 2^{3} \cdot 3 \cdot 7 \) |

         | 
| Derived length: | $2$ | 
The subgroup is characteristic (hence normal), maximal, a semidirect factor, nonabelian, supersolvable (hence solvable and monomial), hyperelementary for $p = 2$, metabelian, and an A-group.
Ambient group ($G$) information
| Description: | $D_{42}:\OD_{16}$ | 
| Order: | \(1344\)\(\medspace = 2^{6} \cdot 3 \cdot 7 \) | 
| Exponent: | \(168\)\(\medspace = 2^{3} \cdot 3 \cdot 7 \) | 
| Derived length: | $2$ | 
The ambient group is nonabelian, supersolvable (hence solvable and monomial), hyperelementary for $p = 2$, and metabelian.
Quotient group ($Q$) structure
| Description: | $C_2$ | 
| Order: | \(2\) | 
| Exponent: | \(2\) | 
| Automorphism Group: | $C_1$, of order $1$ | 
| Outer Automorphisms: | $C_1$, of order $1$ | 
| Derived length: | $1$ | 
The quotient is cyclic (hence abelian, nilpotent, solvable, supersolvable, monomial, elementary, hyperelementary, metacyclic, metabelian, a Z-group, and an A-group), a $p$-group, simple, and rational.
Automorphism information
Since the subgroup $H$ is characteristic, the automorphism group $\operatorname{Aut}(G)$ of the ambient group acts on $H$, yielding a homomorphism $\operatorname{res} : \operatorname{Aut}(G) \to \operatorname{Aut}(H)$. The image of $\operatorname{res}$ on the inner automorphism group $\operatorname{Inn}(G)$ is the Weyl group $W = G / Z_G(H)$.
| $\operatorname{Aut}(G)$ | $C_2^7\times S_3\times F_7$ | 
| $\operatorname{Aut}(H)$ | $C_{42}.(C_2^4\times C_6).C_2^2$ | 
| $\card{\operatorname{res}(\operatorname{Aut}(G))}$ | \(8064\)\(\medspace = 2^{7} \cdot 3^{2} \cdot 7 \) | 
| $\card{\operatorname{ker}(\operatorname{res})}$ | \(4\)\(\medspace = 2^{2} \) | 
| $W$ | $S_3\times D_{14}$, of order \(168\)\(\medspace = 2^{3} \cdot 3 \cdot 7 \) |
