Prove or disprove:

Suppose N is a normal subgp of G and N' is a normal subgp of G'. If G is isomorphic to G' and N is isomorphic to N' does that mean that G/N is isomorphic to G'/N'?

I was trying to work out a proof until my professor told us to think of subgroups of the integers when doing this problem. So now I'm trying to disprove it through a counterexample. I have been stuck on this question for a while and I would appreciate any help.

Thank you.
