Within each cluster of galaxies, the ratio of the number of multiple galaxies to the number of single galaxies is much higher than the ratio calculated under the assumption of statistical equilibrium. This fact leads, without any supplementary assumption, to the conclusion that the components of any given multiple galaxy have a common origin. In this respect the multiple galaxies are similar to the multiple stars of our stellar system.
