Let A and B be two groups. Show that set N = { (a,1):aA } is the normal subgroup of A x B and
that the A x B /N quotient group is isomorph to B.

if you help me, i'll be exulted.

yes i can observe that

N=ker(π)

where π:A×B→B is the Projection map of the second factor B.

The kernel of an homomorphism of groups is always normal, so N is a normal subgroup.

Moreover, by the First isomorphism theorem, it holds

(A×B)/ker(π)≅B ... but is it enough?
