I'm trying to solve this exercise: "If |G| is odd and has a normal C_17 subgroup, then it is central". I know and understand the proof of the fact that "If $H$ be a normal subgroup of prime order $p$ in a finite group $G$ and if $p$ is the smallest prime that divides the order of $G$, then $H \leq Z(G)$" (see
here). But I'm not sure how to approach this exercise.
