The stabilizer subgroup of for this conjugation group action is its normalizer
If it is all of , the equality holds for every , which is precisely the definition of a normal subgroup.
If instead , the orbit-stabilizer theorem says that the group orbit of has size . Every conjugate is isomorphic to , with group isomorphism , so this group orbit is a subset of . Therefore
The group action need not be transitive on all of ; this one group orbit supplies the lower bound.
