But does not this line become doubled if we add another such line here? Certainly. And four such lines will make a space containing eight feet? Let us describe such a figure: Would you not say that this is the figure of eight feet? And are there not these four divisions in the figure, each of which is equal to the figure of four feet? And is not that four times four? Certainly. And four times is not double?英文原著 · 《Meno》
No, indeed. But how much? Four times as much. Therefore the double line, boy, has given a space, not twice, but four times as much. Four times four are sixteen-are they not? What line would give you a space of right feet, as this gives one of sixteen feet;-do you see? And the space of four feet is made from this half line? Good; and is not a space of eight feet twice the size of this, and half the size of the other?英文原著 · 《Meno》

When half-past seven struck, Hart Minor had finished four of them and there was still a fifth left: 3888 had to be divided by 36; short division had to be employed. Hart Minor was busily trying to divide 3888 by 4 and by 9; he had got as far as saying, "Four's into 38 will go six times and two over; four's into twenty-eight go seven times; four's into eight go twice." He was beginning to divide 672 by 9, an impossible task, when the breakfast bell rang, and Smith said to him: "Come on!"英文原著 · 《Orpheus in Mayfair and Other》
