Two ways to read it
Each comes with a copy button, so it's ready to paste into your code, your design tool or a message.
16 : 9
In whole numbers
The width and height divided down as far as they'll go. Copying it gives you 16:9, without the spaces.
Odd sizes get honest answers: a 1,320 × 2,868 iPhone screenshot is 110 : 239.
0.562
As a decimal
The height divided by the width, to three places. Multiply any width by it to get the height that goes with it.
Square images are 1.000, and portrait ones come out above 1.
