Group Theoretic Version
Given two groups G and H and a group homomorphism f : G→H, let K be a normal subgroup in G and φ the natural surjective homomorphism G→G/K (where G/K is a quotient group). If K is a subset of ker(f) then there exists a unique homomorphism h:G/K→H such that f = h φ.
The situation is described by the following commutative diagram:
By setting K = ker(f) we immediately get the first isomorphism theorem.

Famous quotes containing the words group and/or version:
“[The Republicans] offer ... a detailed agenda for national renewal.... [On] reducing illegitimacy ... the state will use ... funds for programs to reduce out-of-wedlock pregnancies, to promote adoption, to establish and operate childrens group homes, to establish and operate residential group homes for unwed mothers, or for any purpose the state deems appropriate. None of the taxpayer funds may be used for abortion services or abortion counseling.”
—Newt Gingrich (b. 1943)
“Truth cannot be defined or tested by agreement with the world; for not only do truths differ for different worlds but the nature of agreement between a world apart from it is notoriously nebulous. Ratherspeaking loosely and without trying to answer either Pilates question or Tarskisa version is to be taken to be true when it offends no unyielding beliefs and none of its own precepts.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
