Double-coset sizes not dividing group order

ID: double-coset-sizes-not-dividing-group-order

A double coset is generally not a subgroup, so Lagrange's theorem does not force its size to divide the ambient group order. In , take . Then has size two, while has size four, which does not divide six. The general size formula explains why different double cosets can have different sizes.
