Put your percentage number over 100
44/100
then divide it as much as you can. in this case, divide both by 4.
11/25
there you go

any percentage can be written at n/100 where n is the percent. For your question it would be 44/100. To do the math, for something like what is 44% of 883? Take 883 * 44/100
883 * 44 = 38852
now take that divided by 100 or
38852/100 = 388.52
So, 388.52 is 44% of 883.

44/100 .
Then you can divide with 4 and you get 11/25
and because 11 and 25 have nothing in common (except 1) .....
that's it!

you put it over 100.
Ex: 44% = 44/100...reduce it to 11/25

44% is 0.44
multiply by (as much as you need) 100/100,
0.44*(100/100) = 44/100!
then don't forget to reduce or you'll lose points!
Answer 11/25
If it was 44.3% you'd need 1000/1000 to get,
0.443*(1000/1000) = 443/1000
