#-864/77# is an irreducible fraction.

Explanation:

You cannot simplify the fraction any further than this-- unless they want you to put it into decimal or mixed fraction form. Then, you could rewrite it as #-11.bar220779# or #-11 17/77# respectively.

Wolfram-Alpha is a good website for this kind of thing; I use it to double-check my work and make sure that I've fully simplified expressions.
