Theorem divdivdivi

Description: Division of two ratios. Theorem I.15 of Apostol p. 18. (Contributed by NM, 22-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
divdivdiv.7 ⊢ 𝐶 ≠ 0
Assertion divdivdivi ( ( 𝐴 / 𝐵 ) / ( 𝐶 / 𝐷 ) ) = ( ( 𝐴 · 𝐷 ) / ( 𝐵 · 𝐶 ) )
