It is a method of proving a statement for all values of a variable - usually for all integers. Often, the process is as follows:
Prove the statement for n = 1
Assume that the statement is true for n = k and prove that, in that case, it must be true for n = k+1.
Invoke the law of induction to assert that it is true for all [integer] values of n.
NO!!! At best RATIO can mean unequal sharing. e.g. 1:3 mean one part receives '1' item , whilst the other part received '3' items. Ratios are often delineated by a colon, e.g a:b :: c:d The double colon is comparing the two ratios.
