How this is worked out

The width and height are divided by their greatest common divisor to give the simplest whole-number ratio, with the decimal ratio alongside.

Worked example

  • 1920 × 1080

both divided by 120

16:9, or 1.7778

Assumptions and limits

  • Dimensions are rounded to whole numbers before simplifying.
  • Awkward pixel counts can produce an unhelpful exact ratio such as 683:384, which is correct but not a recognised standard.
  • Assumes square pixels, which is true of essentially all modern displays.
