For a subgroup $H$ of a finite group $G$ , when does $lvert operatorname{Aut}(H)rvert$ divide $lvert...

$begingroup$


Let $H$ be a subgroup of a finite group $G$. Is it true that $lvert operatorname{Aut}(H)rvert$ divides $lvert operatorname{Aut}(G)rvert$? What if we also assume $G$ is abelian? (I know that $lvert operatorname{Aut}(H)rvert space big| space lvert operatorname{Aut}(G)rvert$ if $G$ is cyclic).

It's not even true for abelian groups in general. Take $H=C_2times C_2$ as a subgroup of $G=C_4times C_2$. Then $lvert operatorname{Aut}(G)rvert=8$, while $lvert operatorname{Aut}(H)rvert=6$.
