56 out of 154 in simplest form of a fraction

2 Answers

So here is how I got the simplest form. It took me two steps.

step 1: 56/2= 28 and then I also did 154/2= 77

so far we have 28/77 which can be further reduced:

step 2: ask yourself what goes into 28 and 77 evenly: the answer is 7. So what you do is:

28/7= 4 and 77/7= 11

your final answer is: 4/11

Hopefully this helped and good luck.

We start with 56/154. Dividing each number by two, we have:

28/77

Dividing each number by seven, we have:

4/11

As the greatest common factor of 4 and 11 is 1, this fraction is in simplest form. Thus, 56/154 is equal to 4/11.
