Ratio Simplifier

Simplify a pair of nonnegative whole numbers by their greatest common divisor. Reduce dimensions, counts and proportions to an equivalent ratio.

Reduce common dimensions

1920 and 1080 share a greatest common divisor of 120. Dividing both sides produces 16:9.

Compare counts consistently

Simplifying 12:8 to 3:2 changes the representation but keeps the proportional relationship between the quantities.

Handle a zero component

0:5 becomes 0:1. Both values cannot be zero because there is then no useful common proportion.

Convert fractional inputs first

The fields accept whole numbers within the JavaScript safe-integer range. Multiply decimal quantities by a common power of ten before simplifying.
