I found that the order of G/H is 6.
According to the Lagrange's Thereom,
order of G = order of H * index of H in G = order of H * order of G/H
The index of H in G is the number of distinct left cosets. The quotient group G/H is the cosets of H in G. Since H is normal, the left and right cosets are equal. Thus, the distinct left cosets equal to cosets of H in G.
Find the distinct elements of G/H? G = S4 has 4! = 24 elements. Do I need to operate each of the 24 elements of G on the 6 elements of H? Or, since it is a symmetric group, is there a faster way to find the distinct elements?
