Many properties of a group – such as whether or not it is abelian, which elements are inverses of which elements, and the size and contents of the group's center – can be discovered from its Cayley table. A simple example of a Cayley table is the one for the group {1, −1} under ordinary multiplication:
Thus, normalizing a Cayley table (putting the border headings in some fixed predetermined order by permuting rows and columns including the headings) preserves the isotopy class of the associated Latin square. Furthermore, if two normalized Cayley tables represent isomorphic quasigroups then their associated Latin squares are also isomorphic.

A Cayley graph of the symmetric group S 4 using the generators (red) a right circular shift of all four set elements, and (blue) a left circular shift of the first three set elements. Cayley table, with header omitted, of the symmetric group S 3. The elements are represented as matrices. To the left of the matrices, are their two-line form.
Cayley table of the alternating group A 4 as a subgroup of S 4. See: Subgroups of S 4. This group shows even permutations of 4 elements - or rotations of the tetrahedron respectively. (see Tetrahedral symmetry)
Cayley table of the alternating group A 4 ... Since the conjugacy class equation for A 5 is 1 + 12 + 12 + 15 + 20 = 60, we obtain four distinct (nontrivial) polyhedra.
The following Cayley table shows the effect of composition in the group D 3 (the symmetries of an equilateral triangle). r 0 denotes the identity; r 1 and r 2 denote counterclockwise rotations by 120° and 240° respectively, and s 0, s 1 and s 2 denote reflections across the three lines shown in the adjacent picture.
