[MATH] Method to reduce both sides of an equation?

atk-defense = hp lost?

idk why you would want atk to be 150% and defence to be 33%. is this for a special situation?

That is what I want, ATK-DF=HP_Lost. The problem is the values I'm working with were not originally set up that way, so I'm trying to convert the formula to that simpler one. However, I would also like it to be a symmetrically scaled adjustment, even if it is bell-shaped. But I can mess with the shape if I ever find a way to simplify the formula. But that's why I don't want to use "If x>50, x=50" because that would yield an "r"-shaped curve. I want an omega-shaped, J-shaped or L-shaped curve, depending on whatever's closest to the original shape. Since the orignal was fairly linear, I think an "S"-shaped curve will be what I end up getting. with the bottom of the S being 1 and the top being 50.
