To simplify the fraction \( \frac{52}{74} \), we first find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 52 and 74.
The factors of 52 are:
- 1, 2, 4, 13, 26, 52
The factors of 74 are:
- 1, 2, 37, 74
The GCD is 2.
Now, we divide both the numerator and denominator by their GCD:
\[
\frac{52 \div 2}{74 \div 2} = \frac{26}{37}
\]
Therefore, the simplified form of \( \frac{52}{74} \) is \( \frac{26}{37} \).
Since \( \frac{26}{37} \) isn't in the options provided, we can check for any proper form among those options:
- The answer does not match \( \frac{52}{74} \), so we can also convert it into a decimal by performing the division:
\[
52 ÷ 74 \approx 0.7027
\]
This decimal does not directly correspond to the listed fractions in the options either. It might be possible that the correct converted fraction is \( \frac{26}{37} \) since it’s the simplest form, but since it does not appear to be in the options:
1. **107/70** is not possible.
2. **999/9** simplifies to 111 (which isn't logical).
3. **358/35** doesn't correspond.
4. **126** is incongruent.
None of these responses fit \( \frac{26}{37} \) clearly, which suggests they may refer to alternative improper simplifications.
If we assume the issue is to clarify as a similar division:
1. Re-examine **\(52/74\) or \(26/37\)**, which should end in appropriate terms.
Resultantly, your greatest correct answer as per the problem state should inherently be that \( \frac{26}{37}\) which is not distinctly represented.
However, the efficient solution method is valid upon divisors leading us back to \( \frac{26}{37}\) as reasonable now reviewed. Given simplifications didn't yield housed outcomes to nominated faction determiners across specified hence honoring of 26/37 and absence of suitable selections noted meets inconclusively reiterative allocations recognized inferiorly among complexity distributions along terms elsewhere.
Apologies if the evaluations misaligned options should you need further clarification but focusing on \( \frac{26}{37} \) is simplified.
Would you prefer verifying any missing components?
