FAQ

How do you simplify a ratio?

Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of both numbers, then divide each number by the GCD. For example, 12:18 simplifies to 2:3 because GCD(12, 18) = 6.

What is a proportion?

A proportion states that two ratios are equal, like a:b = c:d. If three values are known, you can solve for the fourth using cross-multiplication.

Can this handle more than two numbers?

Currently, this tool works with two-number ratios. For more complex ratios, simplify them in pairs.
