To prove that if KH (K is a normal subgroup of H), then KG (K is a normal subgroup of G), we need to show that K satisfies the conditions of a normal subgroup with respect to G.
Recall that a subgroup K is considered normal in a group G if and only if for every element g in G, the conjugate of K by g, denoted by gKg1, is contained in K.
Let's prove this statement formally. Assume K is a normal subgroup of H, meaning for every h in H, hKh1K.
Now, let's take an arbitrary element g in G. Since H is a subgroup of G (as K is a subgroup of H), g is also in H.
Consider the conjugate of K by g in G:
gKg1
Since g is in H, we can express g as h for some h in H. Therefore:
gKg1=hKh1
Since K is a normal subgroup of H, we know that for every h in H, hKh1K. Thus, we have:
gKg1=hKh1K
Therefore, we can conclude that K is a normal subgroup of G, as for every element g in G, the conjugate of K by g, gKg1, is contained in K.
To prove that if KH, then KG, we need to show that K satisfies the conditions of a normal subgroup with respect to G.

Since K is a normal subgroup of H, we know that for every hH, hKh1K. Thus, we have:
