Isomorphism of Quotient Groups

[TheForumLord]

Homework Statement

Let A,B be normal sub-groups of a group G.
G=AB.

Prove that:
G/AnB is isomorphic to G/A*G/B

Have no idea how to start...Maybe the second isom. theorem can help us...

TNX!

Use the internal characterization of direct products of groups: if G has two normal subgroups H, K such that HK = G and H \cap K = 1, then G \cong H \times K.

Also, the third isomorphism theorem may help you (if K \subset H are both normal subgroups of G, then G/H \cong (G/K)/(H/K)).

Sry but I rly can't figure out the Latex text (I see it in black, and it's really not clear)...
If I understand what you're saying, then we don't have the right conditions to use "internal characterization of direct products of groups"...
A,B are normal sub-groups of G and AB=G but who said AnB={1}? The isomorphism you've put afterwards is relevant only when G=A*B and it isn't the case///

Am I wrong?

I've managed to prove it...TNX a lot anyway...
