Questions, answered

How are ratios simplified?

Both numbers are divided by their greatest common divisor. Dividing 1920 and 1080 by 120 gives the equivalent ratio 16:9.

Can I enter decimals?

This tool accepts whole numbers. Multiply both sides of a decimal ratio by the same power of ten first, such as turning 1.5:2.5 into 15:25.
