G.258 number parts number — Heath
VII.6
If a
number be
parts of a number, and another be the same parts of another, the sum will also be the same parts of the sum that the one is of the one.
For let the number / A B / be parts of the number C, and another, / D E /, the same parts of another, F, that / A B / is of C;
I say that the sum of / A B /, / D E / is also the same parts of the sum of C, F that / A B / is of C.
For since, whatever parts / A B / is of C, / D E / is also the same parts of F,
therefore, as many parts of C as there are in / A B /, so many parts of F are there also in / D E /.
Let / A B / be divided into the parts of C, namely / A G /, / G B /, and / D E / into the parts of F, namely / D H /, / H E /;
thus the multitude of / A G /, / G B / will be equal to the multitude of / D H /, / H E /.
And since, whatever part
/ A G / is of
C, the
same part is
/ D H / of
F also,
therefore, whatever part
/ A G / is of
C, the same part also is the sum of
/ A G /,
/ D H / of the sum of
C,
F.
[G.257]
For the same reason,
whatever part / G B / is of C, the same part also is the sum of / G B /, / H E / of the sum of C, F.
Therefore, whatever parts / A B / is of C, the same parts also is the sum of / A B /, / D E / of the sum of C, F.
