5:3 Widescreen Calculator
5:3 (1.66:1) widescreen — between 16:10 and 16:9. Solve its partner dimension cleanly.
5:3 (1.66:1) sits between 16:10 (1.60) and 16:9 (1.78) — an uncommon but handy widescreen for projection, panoramic prints and custom signage where neither standard fits. 1500×900, 1920×1152 and 2560×1536 are all 5:3. The ratio reduces no further than 5:3.

Exact ratio: 5:3 · CSS: aspect-ratio: 5 / 3 · padding-top fallback: 60.00%
Formula
height = width × 3 ÷ 5
width = height × 5 ÷ 3
// padding-top fallback: 60.00% — keeps layout stable before the image loads
aspect-ratio: 5 / 3 — modern replacement for the padding hack

CSS snippet
Modern:
.frame { aspect-ratio: 5 / 3; width: 100%; overflow: hidden; }
.frame > img { width: 100%; height: 100%; object-fit: cover; }Legacy padding hack (for very old browsers):
.wrap { position: relative; width: 100%; padding-top: 60.00%; }
.wrap > * { position: absolute; inset: 0; }Pair with object-fit: contain to letterbox without cropping, or cover to fill and crop safely.
