$ grep ":gid:" /etc/group | cut -d: -f1
Where you replace gid with the number you need.
grep will find the line in /etc/group containing the string :gid: (have a
look at /etc/group and you'll understand) ; the result is then "piped"
into cut which retrieves only the first field (-f1) if you separate the
line based on the colon (-d:)
