We introduce several interesting examples of quotient groups in abstract algebra. In our first example we consider the normal subgroup H of an abelian group G which consists of all finite order elements. Then, in taking the quotient group G/H, we see that we factor out all the finite order elements, leaving in G/H only the identity as a finite order element. In our second example we consider the normal subgroup H of all commutators of a group G. We'll see in the quotient group G/H, we have in a sense factored out all the commutators, leaving only the trivial identity behind, and hence having G/H as an abelian group. We finish with an example regarding the center of a group G. Note that quotient groups are sometimes also called factor groups. #abstractalgebra
