For commuting actions of finite groups G,H with coprime orders, the canonical map AG/H→(A/H)G is a bijection. It is always injective. On any G-stable H-orbit, all G-orbits have the same size, dividing both ∣G∣ and the H-orbit size, hence dividing ∣H∣. Coprimality forces that size to be one, proving surjectivity. Thus categorical limits indexed by G commute with colimits indexed by H in the Category of sets.
