Whenever you have a percent, the fractional notation is the percent over 100, so 56/100. to reduce to simplest terms, you find the largest number that will divide into each with a whole integer result. When in doubt, you ca always divide by a small number, like 2 or 3, multiple times.
So, dividing by 2 gives you 28/50. Divide by 2 again: 14/25.

per cent literally means per hundred and 56% (% is the symbol for percent)is nothing but 56 out of hundred
When converted to fraction,56 will be the numerator and 100 ,the denominator i.e.56/100.After reducing(dividing both 56 and 100 by their GCF which is 4,we get the fraction 14/25
Therefore,
56%
=56/100
=14/25

I am not sure what that means but it means the value 56% as a fraction then I would say 56 over 100 (percent 100) and cancel it down to its lowest denominator I think 4 is the biggest number that will go into both.

56% = 56 / 100 = 14 / 25

Um, 56% is 56/100.

You could simplify it to 23/50.

56% is the same as 56 out of 100
56 out of 100 is the same as 56/100
56/100 can be simplified by dividing the top number (the numerator) and the bottom number (the denomenator) by 4
that leaves you with 14/25 that is as simplified as it can get

how old are you? This should have been covered in like 5th grade....
56 percent is 56 out of a 100... that's 56/100... you do the math from there to simplify it...
