THE NUMBERS, EXPLAINED
How to use this calculator.
Integer pixel dimensions are reduced by their greatest common divisor.
Start with your inputs
Enter width, height. Keep amounts in the units shown on each field. The example is a starting point, not a recommended value.
| Input | Example value |
|---|---|
| Width | 1920 |
| Height | 1080 |
A worked example
With the example inputs above, aspect ratio is 16:9. Change the inputs to explore your own scenario.
| Result | Example answer |
|---|---|
| Aspect ratio | 16:9 |
| Decimal ratio | 1.777778 |
How this is calculated
Aspect ratio
Let g be the greatest common divisor of a and b. Return (a/g):(b/g).
Decimal ratio
a/b
Symbols and units
- a
- Width
- b
- Height
Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions and limits
Integer pixel dimensions are reduced by their greatest common divisor.
Calculations use the values you enter. Blank or invalid inputs show an error instead of silently substituting zero. Results are displayed to useful precision; calculations retain the underlying numeric precision.
Questions about this tool
What does the result tell me?
Aspect ratio; Decimal ratio. The result applies to the method and inputs described above. Check the units and assumptions before using it in a decision.
Why might another calculator differ?
Differences in units, rounding, timing or model definitions can produce different answers. Compare the input definitions and the method, rather than only the final number. For this tool: Integer pixel dimensions are reduced by their greatest common divisor.
Are my inputs stored or sent to AI?
Calculations on this page happen in your browser. The separate AI question finder sends its submitted conversation to OpenAI; these calculator fields are not sent. Favourites and recent tool names are stored locally. A shared link contains the inputs you choose to include.
