Group theory/Isomorphism theorem for residue class groups/Fact/Proof

From Wikiversity
Proof

For the first statement, see exercise. Therefore, the residue class group Q/H is well-defined. We consider the composition

pq:GQQ/H.

Because of

kern(pq)={xG(pq)(x)=e}={xGq(x)kernp}={xGq(x)H}=H,

we have kern(pq)=H. Hence, according to fact, we get the canonical isomorphism

G/HQ/H.
