I read the following definition: $G/H$ is the set of left cosets of $G$ modulo $H$ (Where $G$ and $H$ are groups).
Now, what I don't understand is: what does $G$ modulo $H$ mean?

0A quotient $G/H$ is the original set $G$ partitioned by an equivalence relation defined by the group $H$. That is: we says that $$p\sim q\iff p\in q\odot H$$ for all $p,q\in G$, where $\odot$ is the group operation in $G$. – 2017-02-21
