How this calculator works

1

Simplify an existing ratio A : B to lowest integers.

2

Or find missing value X in the proportion A : B = C : X.

Formula & Mathematics

Ratio Proportion Rule
A : B = C : D ⟹ D = (B × C) / A

Cross-multiplication preserves proportional equivalence across scale dimensions.

Worked Example

Simplify 24 : 36 and solve proportion 4 : 5 = 12 : X

Simplification and missing term calculation.

GCD(24, 36) = 12 ⟹ 24/12 : 36/12 = 2 : 3
For 4 : 5 = 12 : X ⟹ X = (5 × 12) / 4 = 15
Simplified ratio is 2 : 3. Missing term X = 15.
