Theorem divmuldivi

Description: Multiplication of two ratios. Theorem I.14 of Apostol p. 18. (Contributed by NM, 16-Feb-1995)

Ref Expression
Hypotheses divclz.1 𝐴 ∈ ℂ
divclz.2 𝐵 ∈ ℂ
divmulz.3 𝐶 ∈ ℂ
divmuldiv.4 𝐷 ∈ ℂ
divmuldiv.5 𝐵 ≠ 0
divmuldiv.6 𝐷 ≠ 0
Assertion divmuldivi ( ( 𝐴 / 𝐵 ) · ( 𝐶 / 𝐷 ) ) = ( ( 𝐴 · 𝐶 ) / ( 𝐵 · 𝐷 ) )
