Ratio of 2 Numbers Calculator FAQ
- Can this calculator simplify a ratio like 15 : 45?
- Yes, the tool simplifies ratios by dividing both numbers by their greatest common factor, so 15 : 45 reduces to 1 : 3.
- What does it mean to make a ratio k times larger or smaller?
- Making a ratio k times larger multiplies both A and B by k, while making it k times smaller divides both by k, preserving the same proportional relationship.
- How is a ratio different from a fraction?
- The site explains that a ratio A : B is just another way of writing the fraction A / B, so the two notations represent the same quantitative relationship.
- Can I find an equivalent ratio without simplifying?
- Yes, the calculator can generate equivalent ratios by scaling both numbers by the same factor, keeping the relationship between A and B unchanged.
