Division by four

Write A<=B if there is an injection from A to B, and A==B if there is a bijection. We give a simple proof that for finite n, nA<=nB implies A<=B. From the Cantor-Bernstein theorem it then follows that nA==nB implies A==B. These results have a long and tangled history, of which this paper is meant to be the culmination.
