Abstract: Let $M$ be a smooth closed $4k$-manifold whose Yamabe invariant $Y(M)$ is nonpositive. We show that ${\displaystyle }$Y(Msharp l Bbb HP^ksharp m �ar{Bbb HP^k})=Y(M),${\displaystyle }$ where $l,m$ are nonnegative integers, and $BbbH{P}^k$ is the quaternionic projective space. When $k=4$, we also have ${\displaystyle }$Y(Msharp l CaP^2sharp m �ar{CaP^2})=Y(M),${\displaystyle }$ where $Ca{P}^2$ is the Cayley plane.
