We have to simplify
56 (1)/(4)%

This is a mixed fraction, with 56 as the whole number part and
(1)/(4) as the fractional part

Such a fraction can be simplified as:

Denominator of simplified fraction = Denominator of mixed fraction

and Numerator of simplified fraction = (Denominator of mixed fraction × Whole number) + (Numerator of simplified fraction)

⇒ Denominator of simplified fraction = 4

and Numerator of simplified fraction = (4 × 56) + (1)

⇒ Numerator of simplified fraction = 225

Hence, the mixed fraction in its simplest form is
(225)/(4)
