Simplest form of
(28)/(50):

First, we need to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of both the numerator and the denominator.

Factors of 28: 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28
Factors of 50: 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50

Now, we know that the GCF is 2, since it is the greatest common factor.


Second, we now have divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCF (2).


28 / 2 = 14 \\ 50 / 2 = 25

Third, we can now revise our fraction in the simplest form. Take the new numerator and denominator and put them into fraction form.

Simplified form:
\fbox {14/25}
Decimal form:
\fbox {0.56}

you can simplify a fraction by dividing both sides by the biggest number both sides can be divided by without having a remainder.
28/50 -> 28/2 = 14; 50/2 = 25 -> 14/25
both numbers were divisible by the number 2, simplifying the fraction to 14/25
