#### Theorem.
3030
The order of a finite group $G$ is divisible by the order of its subgroup $H$.

**Proof.** Let $|G| = n$ and $|H| = m$. We know that all left cosets of $H$ have $m$ elements, and form a partition of $G$. Since $G$ is finite, the number of these cosets is also finite; call it $k$. Hence $n = mk$ and therefore, $m|n$, QED.

The order of $G$ is divisible by the index $k$ [number of distinct cosets] of $H$.

**Proof.** It has been shown that $n = mk$; from this it follows directly that $k | n$.
