Frequently asked questions

What formula does the Ratio Calculator use?+

It uses a : b = (a÷gcd) : (b÷gcd). The steps section shows the formula with your actual numbers substituted, so you can follow (and verify) every stage of the calculation rather than trusting a black box.

What should I keep in mind when using this calculator?+

Ratios compare quantities of the SAME kind, so units cancel. The default 48:36 simplifies to 4:3 — the classic screen aspect ratio — and the splitter answers the everyday question 'divide ₹100 in the ratio 4:3'.
