Approach: An (l, m, n)-generated group G is a quotient group of the triangle group T (l, m, n) = (x, y, z|x1 = ym = zn = xyz = 1). A group G is said to be (2, 3, t)-generated if it can be generated by two elements x and y such that o(x) = 2, o(y) = 3 and o (xy) = t. Computations are carried out with the aid of computer algebra system GAP-Groups, Algorithms and Programming. Results and Conclusion: The Conway group Co2 is (2, 3, t)-generated for t an odd divisor of order of Co2 except when t = 5, 7, 9.}, journal = {Journal of Mathematics and Statistics}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
