The simplest way would be to
cat /etc/group

All those have a problem: they don't give you all the members for a
group.
If I do this on my system:
# id
uid=1000(davide) gid=100(users)
groups=100(users),11(floppy),17(audio),18(video),19(cdrom)
# grep users /etc/group
users::100:
So I'm member of the group 'users' but I do not appear in the group file
associated to that group.
Actually, your results reflect a (common) problem with setup. It
appears that the "primary group" value from the various users recorded
in your /etc/password have not been carried over to your /etc/group
file.
If you are in this situation, then the process of obtaining a complete
listing for a group becomes a bit more complex. I don't think that
there is a specific tool that will answer your question in this case,
but a shell script could be crafted to do what you want.
