Abstract
The classical behaviour of a macroscopic system consisting of a large number of microscopic systems is derived in the framework of the Bohmian interpretation of quantum mechanics. Under appropriate assumptions concerning the localization and factorization of the wavefunction it is shown explicitly that the center of mass motion of the system is determined by the classical equations of motion.
