Abstract
In this paper we prove that if $G$ is a finite group, then the $k$-th term of the lower central series is nilpotent if and only if for every $\gamma\_{k}$-values $x,y \in G$ with coprime orders, either $\pi(o(x)o(y))\subseteq \pi(o(xy))$ or $o(x)o(y) \leq o(xy)$. We obtain an analogous version for the derived series of finite solvable groups, but replacing $\gamma\_{k}$-values by $\delta\_{k}$-values. We will also discuss the existence of normal Sylow subgroups in the derived subgroup in terms of the order of the product of certain elements.
