Mathematics
Ratio calculator
Simplify the ratio of two integers or decimals.
Your numbers
Both a decimal point and a comma work.
Result
2 : 3
Simplified result
How it works
A:B → (A/gcd):(B/gcd)
Using the calculator
Enter: A · B. Calculation: A:B → (A/gcd):(B/gcd).
Worked input and result
Example: A = 24; B = 36. Result: Simplified result = 2 : 3.
Understanding the result
Both values are scaled to integers, then divided by their greatest common divisor. Up to 9 decimal places are supported; 0:0 is undefined.
A ratio compares two quantities; simplifying 24:36 to 2:3 preserves their relationship. The quantities should be expressed in comparable units before simplifying.
