Example: Simplify ratio

In order to simplify a ratio, the greatest common divisor is determined. To do this, the larger number is divided by the smaller number with the remainder.

1920 ÷ 1080 = 1 R 840

Then divide the divisor by the remainder.
Repeat this step until the calculation works out.

1080 ÷ 840 = 1 R 240
840 ÷ 240 = 3 R 120
240 ÷ 120 = 2 R 0

The last divisor is then the greatest common divisor of the two starting numbers.

Divide the two numbers by the divisor you found

Simplify ratio = (1920 ÷ 120) : (1080 ÷ 120) = 16 : 9
