Let X be a set, a σ-ring of subsets of X, and let μ be a measure on . Following (1), we define μ to be semifinite if

We show (Theorem 1) that every measure can be reduced to a semifinite measure for many practical purposes. In many cases, this reduction can be made even more significantly (Theorems 2 and 3). Finally, necessary and sufficient conditions that a semifinite measure be c-finite are given as a corollary to Theorem 3.
