Euclid:Proposition/VIII/13

Proposition

In the words of Euclid:

If there be as many numbers as we please in continued proportion, and each by multiplying itself make some number, the products will be proportional; and, if the original numbers by multiplying the products make certain numbers, the latter will also be proportional.

(The Elements: Book $\text{VIII}$: Proposition $13$)
