Reduce fraction was one of my shortcoming. I couldn't do it well. I later learned a way of doing it but it takes a lot of time. So when I had access to programmable calculator it was about the first thing I programmed it to do.

Does anyone out there know of any type of calculator that can convert a print size to an Aspect Ratio?
Sometimes I want to print something that is an example say 50 X 25, but when I am cropping in Capture One I am not sure what Aspect Ratio to use to match up to the final size that I want to print.
Any thoughts or tricks that other people have used?

I like to compose in the camera for my final print, so I have always used 2:3, so I get prints of 4X6, 8X12, my personal favorite 16X24 and 20X30.

If you want the aspect ratio in whole number use the attached excel file that I just created. For example if you want an 8x10 to show as 5:4.
Thanks! I wanted to create such a spreadsheet, but I couldn't figure out the math.

2:1 does not jump right out at you?

Can't you simply enter those custom dimensions into Capture One and let it figure out the ratio? In Lightroom if I enter 50 and 25 into custom crop it sets the crop ratio to 5:2.5 so that the width is twice as wide as it is tall.

There also are dial proportion scales. Print shops have used them for yeqrs...

And the question is a sad comment on the state of modern education.
