EXTREMES
The two outer terms of a proportion are known as extremes. These are the limits of a range of possibilities.
The numerator of the second ratio and the denominator of the first ratio are called the means, and the numerator of the first ratio and the denominator of the second ratio are called the extremes. The product of the means equals the product of the extremes.

meansThe two outside one are the extremes.
The two outer terms of a proportion are the first term on the left-hand side and the last term on the right-hand side. These terms are usually compared to determine if they are in the same relationship as the two inner terms.
6/9 = 10/15
Actually, the terms located in the middle of a proportion are called the means. The first and fourth terms are the extremes.
the first or the last term of a proportion or series. a relative maximum or relative minimum value of a function in a given region.
One standard way is it use colons , For example 7:14::6:12 read as 7 is to 14 as 6 is to 12. The number in the middle are called the means; those on either end are called the extremes. In a correct proportion, the product of the means equals the product of the extremes. In the example, note that 7 times 12 = 14 times 6.
