How it works

Width and height are divided by their greatest common divisor (GCD) to give the simplest whole-number ratio, and the decimal width ÷ height is also shown.

Assumptions & limits

  • Width and height are treated as integers for the reduced ratio.
  • Height must be non-zero for the decimal form.
