How Aspect Ratio is Calculated

Aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between an image or display’s width and height. To calculate the simplified aspect ratio between a resolution like 1920×1080:

1. Find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of width (1920) and height (1080) → GCD = 120
2. Divide Width by GCD: 1920 ÷ 120 = 16
3. Divide Height by GCD: 1080 ÷ 120 = 9
⇒ Resulting Aspect Ratio = 16:9
