Formula
## How to Simplify a Ratio ### Method 1. Find the GCD (greatest common divisor) of both numbers 2. Divide both numbers by the GCD ### Example: 12:8 - GCD(12, 8) = 4 - 12/4 : 8/4 = 3:2

What is a ratio?
A ratio compares two quantities by division. The ratio 3:2 means for every 3 of the first quantity, there are 2 of the second.
Is a ratio the same as a fraction?
Ratios and fractions are related. The ratio 3:2 can be written as the fraction 3/2. However, ratios can compare more than two quantities (e.g., 1:2:3).
How do I know if a ratio is fully simplified?
A ratio is fully simplified when the GCD of all its parts is 1, meaning no common factor can further reduce the numbers.
