Abstract: We compute the best bound for the approximate units of the augmentation ideal of the group algebra $L^{1}(G)$ of a locally compact amenable group $G$

. More generally such a calculation is performed for the kernel of the canonical map from $L^{1}(G)$ onto $L^{1}(G/H)$ , $H$

being a closed amenable subgroup of $G$

. Analogous results involving certain ideals of the Fourier algebra of an amenable group are also discussed.
