Validation Rules
Validation prevents undefined math states and invalid numeric input.
b must not be 0.
d must not be 0.
all terms must be finite numbers.
Errors are returned with safe default outputs when validation fails.

FAQs
What does the Equivalent Ratio Calculator compute?
Check whether two ratios are equivalent using cross multiplication, and reduce the first ratio to lowest terms.
Which inputs are required?
Required inputs are all fields marked required in the form. Optional fields can be left blank.
How are invalid inputs handled?
The calculator validates numeric rules first and returns an error message with safe default outputs when rules are violated.
Are results rounded?
Numeric outputs are rounded to about 6 decimal places for stable and readable display.
Can I use decimals?
Yes, decimals are supported unless an input requires integers (such as index, count, or theorem parameters).
Can I use this to verify manual solutions?
Yes. Use the formula section and worked examples to cross-check hand calculations quickly.
