Let M ⊂ S be a complete orientable hypersurface with constant Gauss-Kronecker curvature G. For any v ∈ R, let us define the following two real functions lv, fv : M → R on M by lv(x) = 〈x, v〉 and fv(x) = 〈ν(x), v〉 with ν : M → S a Gauss map of M . In this paper, we show that if n = 3, lv = λfv for some nonzero vector v ∈ R and some real number λ, then M is either totally umbilical (a Euclidean sphere) or M is a cartesian product of Euclidean spheres. We will also show with an example that the completeness condition is needed in the result we just mentioned. We also show that if n = 4, lv = λfv for some nonzero vector v ∈ R and some real number λ and (λ − 1) + (G − 1) = 0, then M is either totally umbilical (a Euclidean sphere) or M is a cartesian product of Euclidean spheres. Moreover, we will give an example of a complete hypersurface in S with constant Gauss-Kronecker curvature that satisfies the condition lv = λfv for some non zero v, which is neither a totally umbilical hypersurface nor a cartesian product of Euclidean spheres.
