It is well known that a compact embedded hypersurface of the Euclidean space without boundary is a round sphere if one of mean curvature functions is constant. In this note, we show that a compact embedded hypersurface of the Euclidean space (and other constant curvature spaces) without boundary is a round sphere if the ratio of some two mean curvature functions is constant.
