Lagrange's Theorem

Statement

Let (G,∗)(G,\ast) be a group whose underlying set is finite, and let HH be a subgroup of GG. Then the following hold.

  1. The sets HH and G/HG/H, where G/HG/H is the set of left cosets of HH in GG, are finite and nonempty, and
∣G∣=∣H∣ [G:H],|G|=|H|\,[G:H],

where ∣G∣|G| is the order of GG, ∣H∣|H| is the number of elements of HH, and [G:H]=∣G/H∣[G:H]=|G/H| is the index of HH in GG.

  1. ∣H∣|H| divides ∣G∣|G|.
