Double coverings of the orthogonal groups of the real and complex spaces are considered. The relation between discrete transformations of these spaces and fundamental automorphisms of Clifford algebras is established, where an isomorphism between a finite group of the discrete transformations and an automorphism group of the Clifford algebras plays a central role. The complete classification of Dabrowski groups depending upon signatures of the spaces is given. Two types of Dabrowski quotient groups are introduced in case of odd-dimensional spaces. Application potentialities of the introduced quotient groups in Physics are discussed.
