Theorem

Let $G$ be a group and let $H$ be a subgroup of $G$.

Let $x, y \in G$.


Let:


Then:

\((1):\)      \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle x H = y H\) \(\iff\) \(\displaystyle x^{-1} y \in H\) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \)                    
\((2):\)      \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle H x = H y\) \(\iff\) \(\displaystyle x y^{-1} \in H\) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \)                    


Proof

$(1): \quad x H = y H \iff x^{-1} y \in H$:

\(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\) \(\displaystyle x H = y H\) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \)                    
\(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\iff\) \(\displaystyle x \ \equiv^l \ y \ \left({\bmod H}\right)\) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \)          Congruence Class Modulo Subgroup is Coset          
\(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\iff\) \(\displaystyle x^{-1} y \in H\) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \)          Equivalent Statements for Congruence Modulo a Subgroup
