     {Commensurable numbers} or {Commensurable quantities}
        (Math.), those that can be exactly expressed by some
        common unit; thus a foot and yard are commensurable, since
        both can be expressed in terms of an inch, one being 12
        inches, the other 36 inches.
  
     {Numbers commensurable in power}, or {Quantities

        commensurable.
