It was shown in [3] how arithmetic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and scalar multiplication could be performed on the set of neutrosophic quadruple numbers.
Actually, the neutrosophic scalar multiplication is an extension of neutrosophic summation; in the last, one has [lambda] = 2.
