Without using Cauchy's or Sylow theorems, can we prove that every group of order $65$ is cyclic? Please help, thanks in advance (any technique of group homomorphisms and normal subgroups can be used).

4Yes. In principle you can enumerate all possible multiplication tables ... – Hagen von Eitzen Aug 19 '15 at 16:34

Well known theorem that
groups of order $pq$ (primes, $p<q$) are cyclic except when $p | (q-1)$.
I think this is from looking at the conjugation action of a cyclic $p$ subgroup on the whole group. Or follow the chain of duplicates...
