How do you simplify a ratio?

Divide both parts of the ratio by their greatest common divisor to reduce it to the simplest whole-number form.

Can a ratio use decimals?

Yes. This calculator accepts decimals and then converts the ratio to a simplified form when possible.

Total parts is the sum of both ratio values. It helps show each side as a share of the full ratio.

Use this ratio calculator to compare two values, simplify the ratio, and see the percentage share for each side of the total.

Enter two values to calculate and simplify their ratio.

This calculator compares two values, reduces them to the simplest ratio form, and shows how much each side contributes to the total.

Simplified ratio = first value : second value reduced by the greatest common divisor

Use it for recipes, proportions, comparisons, business splits, and any situation where you need to express one quantity relative to another.

8 to 12 simplifies to 2:3.

15 to 10 simplifies to 3:2.

A ratio of 2:3 means the first side is 40% of the total and the second side is 60%.

The simplified ratio is 1:1 because both sides represent equal parts.

Yes. The calculator scales decimal inputs before simplifying the ratio when possible.

The calculator still shows the ratio, but simplification is limited because one side has no share of the total.
