Default How can I display a number as a ratio of x:1 in Excel?

I want to display the result of a calculation as a ratio, i.e 16:1
Any ideas on how I can write a function that will allow this to display?

If yu want 16 displayed as 16:1 then select a cell and Pull-down
Format Cells... Number Custom and in the entry field type:

00":1"
