Calculate the ratio of two numbers in Excel using a formula.

A ratio is a common way to compare amounts. You see them daily. For example, in a recipe. It may say to use 5 parts water to 1 part paste and represent it as the ratio 5:1.

In this video tutorial the example if to calculate the ratio of girls to boys in a school class.

To do this we need to divide each value of its greatest common denominator, and then join them with the colon separator.

The GCD function of Excel is used to calculate the greatest common denominator. The full formula is shown below.

=A2/GCD(A2,B2)&":"&B2/GCD(A2,B2)

Is there a way to do a reverse formula? I bought a soap dispenser and I want to dilute it at a ratio of 3:1. Is there a formula to find the proportions of soap vs water according to the total of liquid that exist? My soap container is 1.9 ml.

Is it possible to do this with percentages? I used your formula and it's not working properly.

What if lets say it was to flip it, key in a ratio to figure out the number of boys & girls for a particular ratio?

I don't understand why it does not work for large numbers. I tried 87359 and 31852 and it says there is no lowest common denominator. It should be 2.74 to 1

i cannot, for the life of me, remember how to find the ratio between two decimal numbers. I want to find the ratio between two frequencies. I know the ratio between 16.351875 and 32.70375
is 2:1 but the rest of the numbers on my chart aren't so simple to figure out.
