Intro
Use this ratio calculator to simplify two-part ratios or scale them to a total.
How it works
Enter part A and part B. Optionally enter a total to split it according to the ratio.
Formula
Ratios are simplified by dividing both parts by their greatest common factor.
Example calculation
The ratio 4:6 simplifies to 2:3. If scaled to a total of 100, the parts are 40 and 60.
FAQs
- Ratio parts should be positive values.
- Scaling keeps the same proportion while changing the total size.
