Abstract: This note shows that an interesting property arises when considering the relation between the hypersphere volumes at dimensions $n+1$ and $n$, if the hyperspheres circumscribe unitary hypercubes in $n+1$ and $n$ dimensions, respectively . In the limit of large $n$, the ratio $frac{V}_{n+1}{V}_n$ is constant and equal to the irrational number $sqrtfracpie2$. Some consequences of this result are explored.
