The matrix equation \(Q[X] = {^tT}QT = A\) is studied, where \(Q\) and \(A\) are positive definite symmetric integral matrices of order \(n\) and \(m\), respectively, and \(T\) ranges over the set of \(n\times m\) integer matrices. When \(A = A' \oplus A''\), where the summands have squarefree and coprime determinants, a formula is found for the weighted average of representations of \(A''\) by a suitable quadratic form \(Q'\). This computation depends on the approach due to V. G. Zhuravlev [Algebra Anal. 8 , No. 1, 21–112 (1996; Zbl 0860.11018)]. Two concrete numerical cases are considered in detail.
