First, turn the mixed number into an improper fraction by multiplying the denominator by the whole number, adding it to the numerator, and keeping the denominator as is:

56 x 4 = 224
224 + 1 = 225

225 / 4 will be the improper fraction. Since 225 and 4 cannot be divided by the same number, this fraction is in its simplest form.
