Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Equivalent Ratio Calculator

Understanding the Inputs

To use the Equivalent Ratio Calculator effectively, begin by gathering your numerical values for the ratios you wish to compare. You will need four key pieces of information:

  • First Number: This is the numerator of the first ratio.
  • First Denominator: This is the denominator of the first ratio, which must be greater than 0.
  • Second Number: This is the numerator of the second ratio.
  • Second Denominator: This is the denominator of the second ratio, which also must be greater than 0.

Ensure all required fields are filled with appropriate numerical values.

Entering the Inputs

Follow these steps to enter your inputs:

  1. Locate the input field named First Number. Enter the numerator of your first ratio, ensuring the value is 0 or greater.
  2. Proceed to the field labeled First Denominator. Input the denominator for your first ratio; the value must be greater than 0.
  3. Enter the numerator of your second ratio in the field labeled Second Number, ensuring it is also 0 or greater.
  4. Finally, enter the denominator for your second ratio in the Second Denominator field. This number should be greater than 0 as well.

Reviewing the Results

Once you have input all required numbers, the calculator will provide the following results:

  • First Ratio: This result displays the calculated value of the first ratio, rounded to six decimal places.
  • Second Ratio: This result reveals the calculated value of the second ratio, also rounded to six decimal places.

Determining Equivalence and Multiplier

The calculator further provides information on the relationship between the two ratios:

  • Are Ratios Equivalent? This field will indicate whether the two ratios are equivalent by comparing their difference against a small tolerance. If the difference is less than 0.000001, they are considered equivalent, and the result will display “Yes”; otherwise, it will display “No”.
  • Multiplier Between Ratios: If the ratios are not equivalent, this field will provide the multiplier between the two ratios, rounded to four decimal places. It is calculated by dividing the first number by the second number.

Use these results to understand the proportional relationship between your two ratios.
