    Coset counting formula $\# G = [G:H]\,\#H$

    C-XRC67

    A finite group is $[G:H]$ equal-sized cosets of $H$.Suggest a slogan

    Let \(G\) be a finite group, let \(H\leq G\) be a subgroup, and let \(G/H\) be the set of left cosets of \(H\) in \(G\), so that \([G:H] = \# (G/H)\) is the index of \(H\). Then \[ \# G = [G:H]\, \# H, \qquad\text{equivalently}\qquad [G:H] = \frac{\# G}{\# H}. \]
