TITLE: Counterexamples to the converse to Lagrange's Theorem different from $A_{4}$.
QUESTION [6 upvotes]: I know that $A_{4}$ is a counterexample to the converse to Lagrange's Theorem. I was thinking that I don't know another one. What other examples are possible?

REPLY [2 votes]: I would like to elaborate a bit on a detail of Clive's answer.  One way to see that CLT-groups are solvable is through Hall's theorem.

Definition. Let $\pi(n)$ denote the set of prime divisors of $n$.  For any $\mathcal{S}\subseteq \pi(|G|)$, a Hall $\mathcal{S}$-subgroup of $G$ is a subgroup $H$ with $\text{gcd}(|H|,[G:H])=1$ such that $\pi(|H|)=\mathcal{S}$.

Hall $\mathcal{S}$-subgroups are generalizations of Sylow $p$-subgroups, which are Hall $\{p\}$-subgroups.  If the converse to Lagrange was true for all groups, Hall subgroups would always exist.  Unfortunately, this is not the case.  The following is a well-known extension of a theorem of Hall.

Theorem. Hall subgroups exist for every $\mathcal{S}\subseteq \pi(|G|)$ if and only if $G$ is solvable.

Thus, in particular, for every nonsolvable group $G$, there must be some $\mathcal{S}\subseteq \pi(|G|)$ for which $G$ does not contain a group whose order is the product of the highest powers of each $p\in\mathcal{S}$ which divide $|G|$.
