Let G be a finite group and H a subgroup of G. Let a be an element of G and aH = {ah : h is an element of H} be a left coset of H. If b is an element of G as well and the intersection of aH bH is non-empty then aH and bH contain the same number of elements in G. Thus conclude that the number of elements in H, o(H), divides the number of elements in G, o(G).

The question is: Let G be a finite group, H, K be normal subgroups of G, and H∩K is also a normal subgroup of G. Using Homomorphism theorem ( or First Isomorphism theorem) prove that G/(H∩K) is isomorphism to a subgroup of (G/H)×(G/K). And give a example of group G with normal subgroups H and K such that G/(H∩K) ≆ (G/H)×(G/K), with explanation. I was trying to find some solutions for the isomorphism proof part, but they all seems to...
