Statement

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

The sets $H$ and $G/H$ , where $G/H$ is the set of left cosets of $H$ in $G$ , are finite and nonempty, and

|G|=|H|\,[G:H],

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

$|H|$ divides $|G|$ .
