What Ratio Calculator helps you do

Reduce two quantities to the simplest whole-number ratio, or scale a recipe, dimension or data pair with a proportion.

How to use it

  1. Choose ratio simplification or a proportion.
  2. Enter A and B, plus C for a proportion.
  3. Calculate the simplified ratio or X and review the formula.

Input and output example

INPUT
1920 : 1080
OUTPUT
16 : 9

Supported formats and limits

  • Simplification requires nonnegative safe integers; both values cannot be zero.
  • For A:B = C:X, A cannot be zero.

How the result is calculated

Simplify by dividing both integers by their greatest common divisor. For a proportion, X = B × C ÷ A. Decimal results use at most 6 decimal places.

Frequently asked questions

Can I simplify a ratio containing decimals?

Simplification accepts integers. Multiply both values by the same power of ten first, or use the proportion mode for decimal values.
