Formula

a/b = c/d → d = b×c/a · Cross check: a×d = b×c
  • Proportion & Cross Multiplication calculates its result from a, b, c, d (0 = solve for d). It uses the formula a/b = c/d → d = b×c/a · Cross check: a×d = b×c. Change any input to recalculate the result instantly.
  • The main inputs are a, b, c, d. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
  • Keep comparable quantities in compatible units whenever the formula combines or compares them.
  • Changing any input above recalculates the result with the same calculation engine used by this page.

Example: Proportion & Cross Multiplication

Inputs
  • a: 3
  • b: 4
  • c: 6
  • d: 0 0 = solve for d

For a/b=c/d, solved d=b×c/a. A 0 in d input requests auto-solving; otherwise the cross products a×d and b×c are checked. Ratios on the result card use solved d.
