summation - Control ratio of geometric series through its sum

A geometric series Sn is the sum of the n first elements of a geometric sequence un:



un=arn nN



with u0 defined, and:



Sn=k=n1k=0uk=a1rn1r



Then, is there a way to determine the ratio r analytically through a given finite n and finite sum Sn?
