Cocentral implies central factor

This article gives the statement and possibly, proof, of an implication relation between two subgroup properties. That is, it states that every subgroup satisfying the first subgroup property (i.e., cocentral subgroup) must also satisfy the second subgroup property (i.e., central factor)

Statement

Any cocentral subgroup of a group is a central factor.

Definitions used

Cocentral subgroup

Further information:

A subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is a cocentral subgroup if $HZ(G)=G$ where $Z(G)$ is the center of $G$.

Central factor

Further information: central factor

A subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is a central factor if $H{C}_G(H)=G$ where $C_G(H)$ is the centralizer of $H$ in $G$.
