Frequently asked questions

What formula does it use?
It cross-multiplies the proportion a/b = c/d, e.g. solving for d gives d = (b × c) / a.
What if a required denominator is zero?
Division by zero makes the proportion unsolvable, and the tool shows an invalid result in that case.
Can I use decimals?
Yes, all four values accept decimal numbers, not just whole numbers.
