It's late. I'm stupid. Can someone help me find the ratio of two numbers?

LOLOL

A. 235

B. 371

The method has left my brain. It's two numbers from lab work and I need to know the ratio.

Thanks in advance. Please check my math.

371/235 = 1.58/1 (371 is a 58% increase from 235)

235/371 = 0.633/1 (235 is a 37% decrease from 371)

There isn't a clean, whole number ratio which represents the two numbers other than the two numbers themselves, so one cannot reduce it.
