Suppose we have two finite abelian groups G,G^{\prime} of size n=pq, p,q being primes. G is cyclic.
Both G,G^{\prime} have subgroups H,H^{\prime}, both of size q. The factor groups G/H,\ G^{\prime}/H^{\prime} are cyclic and since they are of equal size, they are isomorphic. Are G,G^{\prime} also isomorphic?
Edit: The title is wrong. p-1 has nothing to do with this problem. Sorry about that.
