Can someone explain what this iterated fraction notation means?:

${\displaystyle P^{\prime }(x_{1},x_{2},\ldots ,x_{n})={\frac {\frac {\frac {\prod _{{\mathcal {T}}_{n-1}\subseteq {\mathcal {V}}}p({\mathcal {T}}_{n-1})}{\prod _{{\mathcal {T}}_{n-2}\subseteq {\mathcal {V}}}p({\mathcal {T}}_{n-2})}}{\vdots }}{\prod _{{\mathcal {T}}_{1}\subseteq {\mathcal {V}}}p({\mathcal {T}}_{1})}}}$
