Worth knowing
Ratios are useful because they survive resizing.
1920×1080, 1280×720 and 640×360 all share the same 16:9 proportion. Simplify first, then scale one side when you need a new size.
Utilities & Security
Simplify two numbers, set a new width or height and get the matching dimension automatically.
Simplified ratio: 16:9
Keep the same proportion
Height is calculated automatically so the original ratio stays intact.

Before you use it
A ratio only describes proportion. Pixels with pixels, centimetres with centimetres, and so on. Mixing units will give a mathematically valid but practically useless result.
The annoying bit
The design, crop or frame is already right. You only need the matching second dimension without stretching it out of shape.
