adj

Sixteenfold.; Sixteen times as great or as numerous.“If for duple we had ſubſtituted triple, quadruple, quintuple, &c. the action would have come out noncuple, ſedecuple, 25ple.”
Sixteenfold.; Sixteen-to-one.“As an example, let us take a ratio which is two-thirds of a quadruple. Since 2 is the numerator, we shall have one-third of a quadruple ratio squared, namely a sedecuple ratio.”

It is interesting to note that this sedecuple arrangement did not burgeon forth from an opulent American laboratory.”
