Split amounts by ratio
Divide any amount according to a given ratio. Calculate each share based on ratio parts.
Separate parts with colons (:)
Enter amount and ratio to divide
Add all numbers in the ratio. For 2:3, total parts = 2 + 3 = 5.
Divide total amount by total parts. $100 ÷ 5 = $20 per part.
Multiply each ratio part by value per part. 2×$20=$40, 3×$20=$60.
Add all parts of the ratio to get total parts. Divide the amount by total parts to get value per part. Then multiply each ratio part by the value per part. For example, to divide 100 in ratio 2:3, total parts = 5, value per part = 20, so shares are 40 and 60.
It means splitting an amount so the first share is 2 parts and the second is 3 parts, for a total of 5 parts. The first person gets 2/5 of the total and the second gets 3/5.
Yes! Dividing money in ratios is common for sharing profits, splitting bills, or distributing inheritances. For example, $1000 divided in ratio 1:2:3 gives $166.67, $333.33, and $500.
Same method! Add all three parts to get total, divide amount by total to get value per part, then multiply each ratio part by value per part. For 1:2:3 ratio with $600: total parts = 6, value = $100, shares = $100, $200, $300.
You'll get decimal values. For example, dividing $100 in ratio 1:2 gives $33.33... and $66.67... In real money situations, you might need to round to cents and adjust slightly.
Ratios and percentages are related but different notation. Ratio 2:3 equals 40% and 60%. Dividing by ratio is often clearer for representing relationships, while percentages are better for showing portions of 100.
Yes! Inverse ratio means if the ratio is 2:3, you divide in 3:2 instead (flipped). This is used when things are inversely proportional - for example, work time vs. number of workers.
Business profit sharing, splitting bills among roommates, inheritance distribution, investment returns, recipe scaling, and resource allocation. Any time you need to split something proportionally.
