I'm afraid my algebraic skills have dwindled to almost nil in the 65
years since high school algebra!Â* LOL

OK, I screwed up.Â* What I wrote isn't in any way clear for what I'm
looking for.Â* Not the first time I've done that!Â* LOL

W1...Â* Enter 1280
H1...Â*Â* Enter 600

How does he calculate the aspect ratio, just above the Example
rectangle, to be 32:15?Â* This is the math I don't remember.Â* LOL




do you know what common factors are?Â* In your example, 10 is a common
factor of 1280 and 600.Â* therefore divide them by 10 to give: 128 and
60

Now the common factor is 4 in both numbers so divide them by 4 to give:
32 and 15

In 32 and 15 there aren't any more common factors to give exact whole
numbers when divided by a number so the final result is: 32:15

Now, write the math formula to do that, and remember you can only input
the 1280 and 600, or any other pair of numbers. You do not get to
choose a common factor for input.

At your age, you should really not be concerned by primary school
mathematics because children are better at that and they enjoy doing
them.Â*Â* I did these things when I was only 8.

The senility of that statement sill proves I'm many years younger than
you.


The nice thing about the age of Google is we don't need no steenkeen math!

Hope this helps.
