How Aspect Ratio is Calculated.

An aspect ratio represents the proportional relationship between a shape's width and its height. Mathematically, it is written as a simplified fraction quotient of $W:H$.

If you have a set of pixel dimensions ($Width \times Height$) and want to determine their simplest integer aspect ratio, you must find the **Greatest Common Divisor (GCD)** of both numbers and divide each dimension by it:

Ratio Width = Width ÷ GCD(Width, Height)
Ratio Height = Height ÷ GCD(Width, Height)

For instance, for a standard Full HD display size of 1920 × 1080 px, the Greatest Common Divisor is 120:

1920 ÷ 120 = 16
1080 ÷ 120 = 9
Result = 16:9
euclidean-gcd.js
function calculateGCD(width, height) {
  width = Math.abs(width);
  height = Math.abs(height);
  
  // Euclid's subtraction algorithm
  while (height) {
    const temp = height;
    height = width % height;
    width = temp;
  }
  return width;
}
 
// Example Usage:
const gcd = calculateGCD(1920, 1080); // returns 120
Our codebase implements an advanced version of this classical Euclidean loop, capable of parsing floating-point numbers like 19.5:9 or 2.39:1 by dynamic multiplier shifts prior to computing modulo residues.
