Problem Statement

Let n be a positive interger. Let n real numbers be wrote on a paper. We call a "transformation" :choosing 2 numbers a,ba,b and replace both of them with aāˆ—ba*b. Find all n for which after a finite number of transformations and any n real numbers, we can have the same number written n times on the paper.
