About This Calculator
This calculator finds the relationship between two parts of a whole using the golden ratio—approximately 1.618—where the ratio of the whole to the larger part equals the ratio of the larger to the smaller.
How It Works
Input any one value: the longer part, shorter part, or total length. The calculator automatically computes the other two using the golden ratio.
