Fractions vs ratios

Fractions and ratios both compare quantities, but they work differently:

  • Of a whole: 3/8 means 3 parts of 8 total, so the ratio is 3:5 (3 parts to 5 remaining parts)
  • Comparing numbers: 3/8 directly becomes ratio 3:8

Using the calculator

Enter a fraction and select whether it represents part of a whole or a direct comparison. The ratio updates instantly. Use the mode button to switch to ratio-to-fraction conversion.
