We know that nonisomorphic groups may have isomorphic automorphism groups. As an example, you can think klein four group and S3 since their automorphism group is isomorphic to S3.
Now,I wonder If G and H are nonisomorphic group with same order then can we say that Aut(G) is not isomorphic to Aut(H) or can we find two nonisomorphic groups with same order and their
automorphism groups are isomorphic?
Answer
No.
You can check that Automorphism group of both Dihedral group(D8) and Direct product of Z2 and Z4 is Dihedral group(D8).
So we have two non-isomorphic groups with order 8 and their Automorphism groups are the same group.
This is the smallest example of such groups.
