Abstract
We introduce the notion of complete system of orthogonal permutations in $\Bbb R^n$ and show that any such system generates a structure of divisions algebra in $\Bbb R^n$. We describe the systems of orthogonal permutations that correspond to the~fields of real and complex numbers, the skew field of quaternions and, the Cayley algebra.
