## Idea

Given a [normal subgroup](group-theory.normal-subgroups.md) `N` of `G`, the
**quotient group** `G/N` is a [group](group-theory.groups.md) equipped with a

`G/N` is a [group](group-theory.groups.md) equipped with a
[group homomorphism](group-theory.homomorphisms-groups.md) `q : G → G/N` such
that `N ⊆ ker q`, and such that `q` satisfies the **universal property of the
quotient group**, which asserts that any group homomorphism `f : G → H` such
that `N ⊆ ker f` extends uniquely along `q` to a group homomorphism `G/N → H`.
In other words, the universal property of the quotient group `G/N` asserts that
