Formula
X = (B * C) / A.
About the Proportion Calculator
Solve the fourth value in an equivalent proportion A:B = C:X and verify both ratios.
How the Proportion Calculator Works
The calculator cross-multiplies A * X = B * C, divides by nonzero A, and reports both sides of the solved proportion.
Formula
X = (B * C) / A.
The calculation runs in your browser. Values are validated for required ranges, compatible units, and method-specific restrictions before results are displayed.
Required Inputs
- A (required).
- B (required).
- C (required).
Results Reported
The result panel reports the final answer and the intermediate quantities needed to check the calculation:
- Solved X
- A divided by B
- C divided by X

Accuracy and Limitations
A cannot be zero. Keep all four quantities in compatible units before interpreting the solved value.
Keep units consistent, use measurements that represent the actual situation, retain full precision during the calculation, and round only the final answer. Professional decisions may require current official rules, field measurements, laboratory methods, or specialist review.
