Exercise · ZW-QUOTIENT-GROUP-003 · ★☆☆ Basic
In \(\mathbb{Z}_{12}/N\) with \(N=\{0,4,8\}\), what is \((5+N)+(6+N)\)?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- D. \(3+N\)
Explanation
Add representatives: \(5+6=11\), and \(11\in3+N=\{3,7,11\}\). The sum is \(3+N\).
Review the concept: Quotient group
Given a normal subgroup \(N\) of a group \(G\), the quotient group \(G/N\) is the set of cosets of \(N\) with the operation induced by multiplying representatives.
\[(aN)(bN)=(ab)N\]
