Proof that cosets are disjoint: https://youtu.be/uxhAUmgSHnI In order for a subgroup to create a quotient group (also known as factor group), it must be a normal subgroup. That means that when we conjugate an element in the subgroup, it stays in the subgroup. In this video, we explain why conjugation is so important to quotient groups!
