What is different between $G/N$ and $GN/N$?

What is different between $G/N$ and $GN/N$?

($G$ denotes a group, and N does a normal subgroup of G)

If you look at the element of each group above,

I think $G/N$ contains element of form $gN$, where $g$ is an element of G but not in $N$.

and $GN/N$ contains element of form $gnN$ which is equivalent to $gN$,

because $n$ is an element of $N$.

Then it looks like they indicate same group.

Is there anything wrong with my reasoning?

If so, could you point out and fix it?
