You can easily keep simplifying this fraction by 2 until you can't simplify it anymore, because they're both even.


(28)/(36) = (14)/(18) = (7)/(9)

It can be faster this way for most people, but you can also just find what number goes into both numbers evenly.
4 goes into both numbers.


28/4=7\\36/4=9\\\\ (7)/(9)

28/4 = 7,
36/4 = 9,
Place the 7 over the 9 and you get 7/9!
