TetraKits
Ratios like 12:8 should simplify to 3:2 — same proportion, lowest terms. The TetraKits ratio calculator reduces any ratio and shows the decimal equivalent a ÷ b.
Overview
To simplify a ratio, divide both parts by their GCF. The decimal column shows the proportional value of a relative to b.
How to simplify
- Enter values for a and b.
- Read the simplified ratio (lowest terms).
- Check the decimal for the proportional value.
Examples
| Input | Simplified | Decimal |
|---|---|---|
| 12 : 8 | 3 : 2 | 1.5 |
| 15 : 25 | 3 : 5 | 0.6 |
| 7 : 7 | 1 : 1 | 1 |
For GCF/LCM of longer lists, use the GCF & LCM calculator.
FAQ
Ratio vs fraction?
Ratio compares quantities (3:2). Fraction is part-of-whole notation. This tool shows both simplified ratio and decimal.
Decimal ratios?
Yes. Enter decimal values; GCF simplification still applies.
Is this calculator free?
Yes. Unlimited use.
