"...that any morphism from G into an Abelian group factors through G / G' "

Is this just another way of asking to show that [; \frac{G}{\ker \phi} ;] is normal in [; \frac{G}{G'} ;]? The wording of this question is a little unclear to me.

'''Answer.''' More fully, you have to show that given any group homomorphism <math>\phi:G\to A</math>, where <math>A</math> is an Abelian group, there exists a group homomorphism <math>\bar\phi:G/G'\to A</math> such that <math>\phi=\bar\phi\circ\pi</math>, where <math>\pi</math> is the projection <math>\pi:G\to G/G'</math>.

"...that any morphism from G into an Abelian group factors through G / G' "

Is this just another way of asking to show that [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{G}{\ker \phi} }[/math] is normal in [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{G}{G'} }[/math]? The wording of this question is a little unclear to me.

Answer. More fully, you have to show that given any group homomorphism [math]\displaystyle{ \phi:G\to A }[/math], where [math]\displaystyle{ A }[/math] is an Abelian group, there exists a group homomorphism [math]\displaystyle{ \bar\phi:G/G'\to A }[/math] such that [math]\displaystyle{ \phi=\bar\phi\circ\pi }[/math], where [math]\displaystyle{ \pi }[/math] is the projection [math]\displaystyle{ \pi:G\to G/G' }[/math].
