Let G be a finite group and N a normal subgroup of G. Assume further that N is a p -group for some prime p.
1) By considering G/N, show that there is a subgroup H of G contaning N such that p does not divide [G].
2) Show that N is a subgroup of all p-subgroups of G.
My thoughts: for 1) maybe use sylow theorems. for 2) I don't understand because if N is a normal p-subgroup, then we have gNg^-1=N for all g. But by sylow, every p-subgroup is conjugate so we must conclude that N is the only p-subgroup of G.
