I wondered about that. The notation I am most familiar is:
(delta) t'
(delta) t = ------------------
sqrt(1 - v^2/c^2)
Obviously, if you multiply both sides by sqrt(1 - v^2/c^2) the quotient
becomes
a product on the other side of the equation. In your example I didn't know
which frames of reference T and To referred to, so I was afraid to be too
picky.
