Gravitational force is inversely proportional to square of distance. Therefore 4 times further, which means 16times less gravitational force or pull between the bodies.

The gravitational force between two bodies reduces 16 times ,as gravitational force is directly proportional to product of the two masses and inversely proportional to square of their distances.

Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to square of distance , hence 4 times farther means 16times less gravitational force or pull between the bodies. G.F = m*m1*k/d*d

The gravitational force will become one sixteenth due to the fact that this force is inversely proportional to the square of the radius.
