The composition quotient groups belonging to two composition series of a finite
 group 
 are, apart from their sequence, isomorphic in
 pairs. In other words, if
  | 
 
(1)
 
 | 
 
is one composition series and
  | 
 
(2)
 
 | 
 
is another, then 
,
 and corresponding to any composition quotient group 
, there is a composition quotient
 group 
 such that
  | 
 
(3)
 
 | 
 
This theorem was proven in 1869-1889.
