Frequently asked
How do I simplify a ratio?
Fill A and B and leave C and D blank — we show A:B reduced by the greatest common divisor.
Can I use decimals?
Yes, decimals are accepted. Simplification works best with whole numbers.
Why is one box blank?
Leave exactly one of A, B, C or D blank — that's the value we solve for.
