Is there an isomorphism from G to (G/M)x(G/N) with the kernel M\bigcapN?

Let M and N be normal subgroups of G such that G=MN.
Prove that G/(M\bigcapN)\cong(G/M)x(G/N).

I tried coming up with an isomorphism from G to (G/M)x(G/N) such that the kernel is M\bigcapN, so that I can use the fundamental homomorphism theorem.
I tried f(a) = (aM, aN). It is an homomorphism and M\bigcapN is the kernel but I'm having a hard time showing it is onto.

I would appreciate any help.
Thank you

So you need to show that for all g, g' in G, there is an a in G such that: (g M, g' N) = (a M, a N).

I haven't worked this out in detail, but: since G = MN, you can write g = m n, g' = m' n'. I suspect that a = m' n might do the trick.
You will need that M and N are normal, so in particular h M = M h, h N = N h for all h in G.

Thread 'Derivation of equations of stress tensor transformation'
Hello ! I derived equations of stress tensor 2D transformation. Some details: I have plane ABCD in two cases (see top on the pic) and I know tensor components for case 1 only. Only plane ABCD rotate in two cases (top of the picture) but not coordinate system. Coordinate system rotates only on the bottom of picture. I want to obtain expression that connects tensor for case 1 and tensor for case 2. My attempt: Are these equations correct? Is there more easier expression for stress tensor...
