N. Then H = N. My Idea is that G is isomorphic to Z and the same isomorphism that proof this ($f: n*g \rightarrow n$) should do the same with H and N: f(H)= f(N) = mZ for the right $m \in Z$ Is this right? I already checked the finite case. Thats easy. I only have a problem with this case. Greetings.

G = Z (additive group of integers), H = <2> and N = <3> is a counterexample.
