My goodness Chris you so look for the long way sometimes!

 

Just do it with an ordinary division. You get 56 with 1 left over 

That's   5614

 

or on a calculator

225/4 simplified

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Factoring 225, we have 52 * 32

Factoring 4, we have 22

So 225/4 =  [ 52 * 32 ] / [22 ]

Thus, this IS simplified........(nothing on "top"  and "bottom"  "cancels")

All we can do to "simpify" this is to express it as a mixed number..........56 + (1/4)
