How I will get ratio of 2 number in php

Hi I am learning php and getting some problem in calculation the ratio of 2 number.


Suppose I have in $Var1 = 100
and in $var2 = 40

And I want to show the output 5:2



Any help will be appreciated ,

Thanks,
Pradip

 

$result1= $Var1 / $Var2;

$result2= $Var1 % $Var2;

This will produce:

$result1 = 2.5
$result2 = 20

 

Hi Sir answer should not be 2.5 : 20. It should be 5 : 2 right??


Thanks,
Pradip

 

Knock Knock any one here to help me out to solve this problem. Please please please

 

$var1 = 100;
$var2 = 40; 

$den=(int) ($var1 / $var2);  
$ratio=$var2/$den; 
$num=$var1/$ratio; 

PHP:

$num and $den are the two answers

 

No the logic is not correct just use

$var1 = 100;
$var2 = 50;

The ratio should be 2:1 But according to your logic it is giving 4:2

Thanks,
Pradip

 

try this:

$var1=12;
$var2=40;

for($x=$var2;$x>1;$x--) {
  if(($var1%$x)==0 && ($var2 % $x)==0) {
    $var1 = $var1/$x;
    $var2 = $var2/$x;
  }
}
echo "$var1 : $var2";

PHP:

 

Thanks a lot I am really great full to you

The thing your looking for would be to find the greatest common Denominator of both numbers then output the results of dividing those numbers by the GCD.

function GCD ($a, $b)
{
  while ( $b != 0)
  {
     $remainder = $a % $b;
     $a = $b;
     $b = $remainder;
  }
  return abs ($a);
} 

$a = 100;
$b = 40;

$var = GCD ($a,$b);

print $a/$var .':'.$b/$var;

PHP:

Something of the above will work for you.
