Group Theory – Finite Group with Isomorphic Normal Subgroups and Non-Isomorphic Quotients

abstract-algebragroup-theorynormal-subgroups

I know it is possible for a group $G$ to have normal subgroups $H, K$, such that $H\cong K$ but $G/H\not\cong G/K$, but I couldn't think of any examples with $G$ finite. What is an illustrative example?

Best Answer

Take $G = \mathbb{Z}_4 \times \mathbb{Z}_2$, $H$ generated by $(0,1)$, $K$ generated by $(2,0)$. Then $H \cong K \cong \mathbb{Z}_2$ but $G/H \cong \mathbb{Z}_4$ while $G/K \cong \mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2$.
