up:: Quotient Group

Given a Group G and a Normal Subgroup N⊴G, we can create an Equivalence Relation in G as

g∼h⟺∃n∈N∣g=hn⟺gh−1∈N

That is, elements of N act as identity elements in the Quotient Space.

We can identify each Equivalence Class in this quotient space as a left coset of N

[g]∈G/∼↔gN∈G/N
