Online Solve for X in Proportion Calculator

Solve x in a proportion a/b = c/x (or a/b = x/d). Find the missing value in equivalent fractions.

Proportion: a/b = c/x. Enter a, b, c; we solve for x (x = b×c÷a).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a proportion?
A proportion is an equation of two ratios: a/b = c/d. If one value is unknown (x), we solve for it using cross-multiplication.
How do you solve a/b = c/x?
Cross-multiply: a×x = b×c, so x = (b×c)/a (assuming a ≠ 0).
Can the unknown be in any position?
Yes. Enter the three known values and indicate which position is x; the tool solves for it.
