) Usually the resulting fraction should be simplified: the result of the division of 52 by 22 is also . This simplification may be done by factoring out the greatest common divisor . Give the answer as an integer quotient and a remainder , so 26 11 = 2 remainder 4. {\displaystyle {\tfrac {26}{11}}=2{\mbox{ remainder }}4.}
