Step 1: Find the product of the two numbers

First, we have to find the product of 4 and 16. \[ Product = 4 * 16 \]

Step 2: Calculate the product

Now calculate the product of the two numbers. \[ Product = 4 * 16 = 64 \]

Step 3: Find the mean proportional (square root of the product)

The mean proportional between the two numbers is the square root of the product we obtained in Step 2. \[ Mean\ Proportional = \sqrt{64} \]

Step 4: Calculate the mean proportional

Calculate the square root of 64 to find the mean proportional. \[ Mean\ Proportional = \sqrt{64} = 8 \] So, the mean proportional between 4 and 16 is 8.
