[parent] multiplication formula for gamma function (Theorem)

For any integer $n > 0$ , the gamma function satisfes the following relation:

$$\Gamma (nz) = (2 \pi)^{n - 1 \over 2} n^{nz - {1 \over 2}} \prod\limits_{k=0}^{n-1} \Gamma \left( z + {k \over n} \right)$$

This equation is true for all complex values of $z$ for which both sides are defined.
