It is 10 to 7 by dividing both number by 8. The simplest for is 1 3 / 7

First you find the greatest common factor of both 80 and 56. The simplest way to do this is to list off all the factors of the two numbers.

56: 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56

80: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80

The largest factor they have in common is 8. Now we divide both the numerator and denominator by 8.

56 / 8 = 7

80 / 8 = 10

So the reduced form of 80 / 56 is 10 / 7. This number can be simplified to 1 3 / 7, or left as 10:7 for a ratio.
