Let V V be a right vector space of dimension at least two over a division ring K K . We characterize the dilatations in GL ( V ) {\text {GL}}(V) which are expressible as a product of three transvections; these are precisely those dilatations whose ratio is a commutator. Similarly, if char K ≠ 2 K \ne 2 , a dilatation is a product of three reflections if and only if its ratio is a negative of a commutator. The sufficiency of these conditions was established earlier by B. B. Phadke.
