In mathematics, describing quantities that are equal multiples of the same number; having the same ratio to a common factor.
From Latin 'aequi-' (equal) plus 'multiple' (from Medieval Latin 'multiplex,' meaning many-fold). Used in ancient Greek mathematics, this term describes proportional relationships.
The ancient Greeks used equimultiples to prove theorems before algebra existed—Euclid would say two quantities are equimultiples if they're both, say, three times some base unit, making it a geometric way to handle proportions.
