Frequently asked questions

What is the greatest common divisor?

The largest whole number that divides both the width and the height exactly, used here to reduce the ratio to simplest form.

Does 16:9 describe a size?

No. It describes shape only: any size with the same proportions, from 640 x 360 to 3840 x 2160, is 16:9.
