Answer:

C, 5/8

Explanation:

140 and 224 obviously have the number 2 as their divisor, so lets divide them by 2.

140 / 2 = 70

224 / 2 = 112

Again, they are both even so we divide by 2.

70 / 2 = 35

112 / 2 = 56

Looking closer, we realize they are both dividable by 7.

35 / 7 = 5

56 / 7 = 8

5/8 is the answer.
