Theorem
Let $G$ be a group whose identity is $e$.
Let $H$ be a subgroup of $G$.
Left Coset by Identity
Then:
- $e H = H$
where $e H$ is the left coset of $H$ by $e$.
Right Coset by Identity
Then:
- $H = H e$
where $H e$ is the right coset of $H$ by $e$.

This is consistent with the definition of the concept of coset by means of the subset product:
- $e H = \left\{{e}\right\} H$
- $H e = H \left\{{e}\right\}$
