Among other results, a criterion is established, using multiplicators, for a cogroup to be obtainable by Utumi's partition method starting from a Z)-hypergroup. En 1949, Utumi [9] donne Γexemple d'un cogroupe fini ayant huit elements et qui n'est pas un D-hypergroupe. II repond ainsi, par la negative, a la question de Eaton. A cette occasion, il retrouve la notion de "permutation droite" introduite par Krasner. II lui donne le nom de multiplicateur sous lequel on la designe habituellement a present. Et il retrouve, sous une forme legerement differente, la caracterisation des D-hypergroupes etablie par Krasner. II fournit aussi
