Let H be a subgroup of G. Show that if G/H is Abelian, then ghg^-1h^-1 is in H for all g, h in G.



I know if G/H is Abelian, (g1H)(g2H)=(g2H)(g1H). But I don't know how to approach from here.

          You have it. So what is $(g_1g_2g_1^{-1}g_2^{-1})H$? (P.S. Probably it's better not to use the letter $h$ for an element of $G$; it suggests an element of $H$. So I think your switching to $g_1$ and $g_2$ was preferable.)
