Ratio Calculator

Enter a ratio like 3:4, tell the tool which side you know the real value of, and it finds the other side — plus the simplified ratio. Perfect for recipes, scale models, mixing paint and map scales.

Simplifying

6:8 and 3:4 are the same ratio — dividing both sides by their greatest common divisor gives the simplest form.

Solving proportions

If a recipe's 3:4 ratio needs 12 cups of flour on the "3" side, the "4" side is 12 × 4/3 = 16 cups. That cross-multiplication is all the tool does — instantly and without arithmetic slips.
