Rechner für Verhältnisse und Proportionen

Divide every term by the greatest common divisor of the terms. For 12 : 18 the GCD is 6, giving 2 : 3. Decimals and fractions are cleared first by multiplying every term by the same number: 1.5 : 2.5 × 2 = 3 : 5, and 1/2 : 3/4 : 5/6 × 12 = 6 : 9 : 10, which is already in simplest form because its GCD is 1.

Cross-multiply, then divide. In 3 : 4 = 9 : x the products of the diagonal terms are equal, so 3x = 4 × 9 = 36 and x = 12. The unknown can sit in any position: in x : 5 = 6 : 15, 15x = 5 × 6 = 30, so x = 2. If the term diagonally opposite x is 0, there is no single answer.

Add the ratio terms, divide the amount by that total to get one share, then multiply each term by the share. For 1,000 split 2 : 3 : 5 the terms add to 10, one share is 100, and the parts are 200, 300 and 500. The parts always add back to the amount; 100 split 1 : 2 gives 100/3 and 200/3, about 33.33 and 66.67.

A ratio compares parts with each other; a fraction compares a part with the whole. In a class of 12 girls and 18 boys the ratio of girls to boys is 12 : 18 = 2 : 3, but girls make up 12/30 = 2/5 of the class. A two-term ratio a : b becomes the fraction a/(a + b) of the whole.

Multiply or divide every term by the same factor. To make the first term of 2 : 3 equal 30, the factor is 30 ÷ 2 = 15, so the scaled ratio is 30 : 45. Scaling a recipe works the same way: a 2 : 3 mix made 15 times larger needs 30 and 45 units of the two ingredients, and the proportions stay 40% and 60%.

Die Genauigkeit hängt von Ihren Eingaben und den Annahmen der Methode ab. Die Dezimalrechnung nutzt 50 signifikante Stellen, doch Schätzungen, numerische Verfahren und Quelldaten können ungenauer sein. Die angezeigte Rundung beseitigt diese Grenzen nicht. Anhand unabhängiger Quellen geprüfte Rechenbeispiele: 8. Beispielsweise wird „Simplify 12 : 18“ anhand von gcd(12, 18) = 6 (Python math.gcd) geprüft.
