Ratio
not exactly division. Say the ratio of male to female is 1.2 : 1 in China. I am not trying to divide the number of male by the number of female; I am using a colon (:), not a forward slash (/), to express a ratio. What I am trying is to compare the male population to the female. Compare is the key. The second number is, in majority of the cases, the number one, giving the illusion of a division. But 3 : 2 or 6:5 is a ratio too.

Ratio
A ratio can indicate division. If you have a ratio, x:y, then it can be thought of as x/y.
A ratio uses division to compare two quantities.

No. A ratio is calculated using division but they are not the same thing.

Ratio refers to division, like difference refers to subtraction. So the ratio of 5 to 10 is 5/10 or "5 to 10" or "1 to 2", or sometimes "1 in 2". It means how much by multiplication or division some quantity relates to another.
Division is used to simplify the ratio (reduce it, put it into simplest terms). This gives you a direct (and usually small) perspective of the ratio, so can visualize it easier and understand it better.
Divide the numerator by the denominator using long division.
