In a recent paper J. M. Whittaker considered the problem of resolving a linear differential system into a product of two or more systems of lower order. This note is a contribution to this problem and furnishes the necessary and sufficient conditions for the resolution of the system into two equivalent systems of lower order of the type considered by Whittaker.
