How should I crop a photo to a marketplace's aspect ratio?

Reduce the target width and height ratio to its smallest whole-number pair. Choose the largest integer multiple that fits both source dimensions. Compare crop area with original area to find the percentage removed. The crop preserves the requested orientation and uses no upscaling.
