Proof: Certainly 1.
2., since for all
, the subgroup
of

to the subgroup
, which is certainly normal. For 2.
3., observe that any element of

, where
and each
is an element of some
. But by 2., the
are pairwise disjoint, so that any elements in distinct
commute. Hence, we may sort the product
so that the first few entries are in
, the following entries are in
and so on. The products of the entries that are contained within
then form the element as required by the decomposition in 3. Finally, for 3.
1., observe that 3. implies that the given function is bijective. But it is also a homomorphism, because 3. immediately implies that the
are disjoint, and we may use that elements of disjoint normal subgroups commute to obtain that
indeed commutes with the respective group laws. 
通常情況下,子群乘積不是一個子群。但是,如果乘積中涉及的其中一個子群是正規子群,那麼它就是
