Calculate Data Reduction Ratio



Formula

The formula to calculate the Data Reduction Ratio (R) is:

\[ \text{R} = \frac{O - R}{O} \]

What is Data Reduction Ratio?

Data reduction ratio is a measure of how much data has been reduced in size after applying a data reduction technique. It is commonly used in data storage and data compression to evaluate the efficiency of the reduction process. A higher data reduction ratio indicates a greater reduction in data size, which can lead to significant storage savings and improved performance in data processing and transmission.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{R} = \frac{1000 - 250}{1000} = 0.75 \times 100 = 75 \]

The Data Reduction Ratio (R) is 75%.
