To evaluate \( \frac{52}{74} \) and simplify it completely, we first find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 52 and 74.

The prime factorization of 52 is:
\[ 52 = 2^2 \times 13 \]

The prime factorization of 74 is:
\[ 74 = 2 \times 37 \]

The common factor is \( 2 \).

Now, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2:
\[
\frac{52 \div 2}{74 \div 2} = \frac{26}{37}
\]

Since 26 and 37 have no common factors other than 1, \( \frac{26}{37} \) is in its simplest form.

Thus, the simplified answer to \( 52 \div 74 \) is:
\[
\frac{26}{37}
\]
