SUMMARY
The discussion confirms that if \( N \trianglelefteq H \), \( N \trianglelefteq G \), and \( H \le G \), then it is indeed true that \( H/N \le G/N \). The participants clarify that the condition \( (h_1N)(h_2^{-1}N) = h_2h_2^{-1}N \in H/N \) is sufficient for the proof. Additionally, the importance of the index being \( 1 \) is highlighted, indicating a specific condition for the quotient groups. The reference to the Third Isomorphism Theorem on Wikipedia provides further validation of the conclusion.
