This is a RTFM question. From the group(5) manpage:
/etc/group is an ASCII file which defines the groups to
which users belong. There is one entry per line, and each
line has the format:
group_name:passwd:GID:user_list
The field descriptions are:
group_name
the name of the group.
password
the (encrypted) group password. If this field is
empty, no password is needed.
GID the numerical group ID.
user_list
all the group member's user names, separated by
commas.
