Answer: 2 1/3

Step-by-step explanation: The answer would be 2 1/3 because since 56 and 24 are factors of 4 you divided both of them by 4 which would give you 14/6. They're not factors of 4 no more, so you divide them by 2 which makes it 7/3. They are both prime numbers and 3 is a factor of 3 but 7 isn't and what you do to the bottom number has to be done to the top. There are no remainders in fractions so you simplify it which would you give you 2 1/3. 3 can go into 7, 2 times because 3x2 equals 6. The whole number is 2 now and the denominator stays the same. 2 ?/3. 2x3=6+1=7 so the numerator is 1. 2 1/3
