I'm trying to make a converter, but i don't know the formula to do this, for example, how do I get the ratio of 85694 of 30711152. So, i can get the % like 85694/30711152*100=0.28 (rounded) but how do I then get the ratio of like 1 in a 100? I believe that'd be around 1:400? But i don't know how to get it exactly or what formula to use...

The ratio is 1 in 30711152 / 85694. Just invert the fraction.

haha, thanks, WOW, me and a co-worker couldn't figure it out... I was a little embarrassed to ask, but no one here could figure it out. Thanks!

A: 

Well, the ratio stays constant. If you have the ratio 3:12, it is equivalent to the ratio 1:4, which in turn equates to 25%.

So 85694 : 30711152 = 1 : 358.381.
