  2. Ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratio

    As for fractions, the simplest form is considered that in which the numbers in the ratio are the smallest possible integers. Thus, the ratio 40:60 is equivalent in meaning to the ratio 2:3, the latter being obtained from the former by dividing both quantities by 20. Mathematically, we write 40:60 = 2:3, or equivalently 40:60∷2:3.

  3. Golden ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio

    The golden ratio was called the extreme and mean ratio by Euclid, [2] ... It is in fact the simplest form of a continued fraction, alongside its reciprocal form: ...

  4. Special right triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_right_triangle

    For example, a right triangle may have angles that form simple relationships, such as 45°–45°–90°. This is called an "angle-based" right triangle. A "side-based" right triangle is one in which the lengths of the sides form ratios of whole numbers, such as 3 : 4 : 5, or of other special numbers such as the golden ratio.

  5. Fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

    A ratio is often converted to a fraction when it is expressed as a ratio to the whole. In the above example, the ratio of yellow cars to all the cars on the lot is 4:12 or 1:3. We can convert these ratios to a fraction, and say that ⁠ 4 / 12 ⁠ of the cars or ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠ of the cars in the lot are yellow.

  6. Irreducible fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreducible_fraction

    An irreducible fraction (or fraction in lowest terms, simplest form or reduced fraction) is a fraction in which the numerator and denominator are integers that have no other common divisors than 1 (and −1, when negative numbers are considered). [1]

  7. Exact trigonometric values - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_trigonometric_values

    In the table below, the label "Undefined" represents a ratio : If the codomain of the trigonometric functions is taken to be the real numbers these entries are undefined , whereas if the codomain is taken to be the projectively extended real numbers , these entries take the value ∞ {\displaystyle \infty } (see division by zero ).

    A ratio distribution ... often a tractable exercise. At simplest, ... the form of their ratio distribution is a Cauchy distribution.

  9. Aspect ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect_ratio

    For example, the aspect ratio of a rectangle is the ratio of its longer side to its shorter side—the ratio of width to height, [1] [2] when the rectangle is oriented as a "landscape". The aspect ratio is most often expressed as two integer numbers separated by a colon (x:y), less commonly as a simple or decimal fraction. The values x and y do ...
