The integral group ring of a finite group determines the isomorphism type of the chief factors of the group. Two proofs are given, one of which applies Cameron's and Teague's generalisation of Artin's theorem on the orders of finite simple groups to the orders of characteristically simple groups. The generalisation states that a direct power of a finite simple group is determined by its order with the same two types of exception which Artin found. Its proof, given here in detail, adapts and makes explicit certain functions of a natural number variable which Artin used implicitly. These functions contribute to the argument through a series of tables which supply their values for the orders of finite simple groups.
