Ratio Calculator
The Ratio Calculator calculates exact, real-time domain outputs in active voice. The Ratio Calculator simplifies any ratio A:B to its lowest integer terms, calculates each component's percentage share of the whole, and solves proportions A : B = C : x for recipe scaling, screen aspect ratios (16:9, 4:3), and engineering blueprints.
Ratio Calculator Input Parameters & Defaults
| Ratio Value A | 1920 | First term A of ratio A:B. |
| Ratio Value B | 1080 | Second term B of ratio A:B. |
| Target Value C (to solve C : D) | 1280 | Known C value to find proportional D. |
Ratio Calculator Mathematical Formula
\frac{A}{B} = \frac{C}{D} \implies D = \frac{B \times C}{A}Ratio Calculator Worked Example
Simplifying 1920 : 1080 and scaling it to a width C = 1280.
- gcd(1920, 1080) = 120; Simplified Ratio = (1920/120) : (1080/120) = 16 : 9.
- Solving 1920 : 1080 = 1280 : D gives D = (1080 × 1280) / 1920 = 720.
A 1920×1080 Full HD frame simplifies to a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio and scales proportionally to 1280×720 HD.

Ratio Calculator Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do you divide a total amount according to a ratio A:B?
Add the ratio parts (A + B), then multiply the total amount by A/(A+B) for the first share and B/(A+B) for the second share.
