Theorem
Let $G$ be a group and let $H$ be a subgroup of $G$.
Let $x, y \in G$.
Elements in Same Left Coset iff Product with Inverse in Subgroup
- $x, y$ are in the same left coset of $H$ if and only if $x^{-1} y \in H$.
Elements in Same Right Coset iff Product with Inverse in Subgroup
- $x, y$ are in the same right coset of $H$ if and only if $x y^{-1} \in H$
