What Ratio Calculator does

A ratio calculator that lets users input up to three known values to find a missing component or scale an existing proportion. The output shows the calculated ratio in simplest form, along with a step-by-step breakdown of how the result was derived, including the greatest common divisor used for reduction. The interface presents labeled input fields (Input A, Input B, Input C) and a clear results area, designed to help users understand the math behind the answer rather than just providing a final number.
