Title: The group with three elements.

There is a unique nonabelian group, up to isomorphism, with six elements. One example is the group $S_3$ of permutations of the three-element set $\{ 1,2,3 \}$.

Composition table for $S_3$.
$\circ$ $Id$ $(12)(3)$ $(13)(2)$ $(1)(23)$ $(123)$ $(132)$
$Id$ $Id$ $(12)(3)$ $(13)(2)$ $(1)(23)$ $(123)$ $(132)$
$(12)(3)$ $(12)(3)$ $Id$ $(132)$ $(123)$ $(1)(23)$ $(13)(2)$
$(13)(2)$ $(13)(2)$ $(123)$ $Id$ $(132)$ $(12)(3)$ $(1)(23)$
$(1)(23)$ $(1)(23)$ $(132)$ $(123)$ $Id$ $(13)(2)$ $(12)(3)$
