where $\Delta V$ an $n$-dimensional volume of an $n$-dimensional box.
Integration preserves scalar multiplication.
$$\begin{array}{} \int_Q k f(u) dV &= \lim_{m \rightarrow \infty} \sum_i k f(c^i) \Delta V \\ &= k \lim_{m \rightarrow \infty} \sum_i f(c^i) \Delta V \\ &= k \int_Q f(u) dV \end{array}$$
