There are ratios of different types, activity, productivity, balance and financial; for example, the latter make it possible to measure the liquidity, profitability and solvency of companies.
On the other hand, in the field of computing, the term ratio is frequently used, since the programs that allow sharing files from person to person (P2P), establish two types of ratio, that is, the ratio indicates the relationship between the number of users who have a complete file to share and the number of users who are downloading the mentioned file.
For his part, the sharing ratio, is the file upload and download ratio of a user, for example, if the user in question uploaded 600 MB of files to a system and on the other hand downloaded 300 MB, their sharing ratio is 2.0.
