  Abstract:
A finite group G is called n-decomposable if it is non-simple and each of its non-trivial proper normal subgroups is a union of n distinct conjugacy classes. In this paper, we investigate the structure of non-solvable non-perfect finite group G when G is 5- or 6-decomposable. We prove that G is 5-decomposable if and only if G is isomorphic with Z5×A5, A6.23 or Aut(PSL (2,q)) for q = 7,8. Also, G is 6-decomposable if and only if G is isomorphic with S6 or A6.22. Here, A6. 22 and A6. 23 are non-isomorphic split extensions of the alternating group A6, in the small group library of GAP [SCHONERT,M. et al.: GAP, Groups,Algorithms and Programming.
