Potential error in HW2 and overall confusion regarding Problem 4

Hello I looked at the instruction for homework 2 and found some things that looked a bit wrong and some stuff that confused me. 

Problem 4.1 is to show that any group of order 14077 = 7·11 is cyclic. 

Problem 4.2, 4.3 is to show that there is no simple SUBGROUP of order 2010 ( for 4.3 its 36). What is the order of the whole group? Or does that not really matter here? Are we just supposed to consider these subgroups as whole groups themselves?

I also have another question about referring to course material. Are we allowed to refer to our own previous homework solutions and previous homework in general? Just for simple and straightforward things like proving a certain set is equal to the center or some group.

Hello

Problem 4.1 should be 77=7x11. As a general rule the prime factorization is what counts, not the total which I have a high change to mistype

4.2 and 4.3 it there should be written groups instead if subgroup.

You can cite previous homework exercises in your solution.
