Frequently asked questions

How do I simplify a ratio?

Divide both parts by their greatest common divisor (GCD). For example, 12:8 → divide both by 4 → 3:2.

Can I use three-part ratios?

Enter values for A, B and optionally C/D. The tool simplifies and scales multi-part ratios.

How do I divide a total by a ratio?

Add the ratio parts (e.g. 3+2=5), then multiply total by each part/sum. £500 in 3:2 = £300 and £200.
