linear algebra - Determinant of block matrices

I am having the following block matrix



[A+BBBBA+BBBBA+B]



where A and B are full rank, symmetric square matrices. There are n blocks in each direction. I want to obtain the determinant of the block matrix.




I play with some examples and the determinants seems to be



det(A)n1det(A+nB)



May I ask whether this is correct or not, and is there any proof?
