Show how the gcd was found
  1. 2560 = 1 × 1600 + 960
  2. 1600 = 1 × 960 + 640
  3. 960 = 1 × 640 + 320
  4. 640 = 2 × 320 + 0

Divide the larger side by the smaller, then divide the last divisor by the remainder until the remainder is 0. The last divisor is the gcd.

Questions

What aspect ratio is 2560x1600?

2560 × 1600 is 8:5 (1.6:1). Dividing both sides by their greatest common divisor, 320, gives 8 and 5. That is exactly 16:10, which reduces to 8:5.

How do I resize 2560x1600 without distortion?

Keep the ratio at 8:5: new height = new width × 5 ÷ 8. Dividing both sides by 2, 4, 5, 8 or 10 keeps whole pixels, for example 256 × 160 at ÷10.

What is 2560x1600 cropped to 9:16?

A centered 9:16 crop of 2560 × 1600 is 900 × 1600, which keeps 35.2% of the image. Padding it to 9:16 instead gives a 2560 × 4551 canvas with 2,951 px of bars. That canvas is rounded, not exactly 9:16: the exact padded side would be 4551.11 px tall. The smallest exact 9:16 canvas around it is 2565 × 4560.
