Two different ways you can do this:

%284%2F52%29%2A%283%2F51%29%2A%2848%2F50%29%2A3C2 = %284%2F52%29%2A%283%2F51%29%2A%2848%2F50%29%2A%283%21%2F%282%21%2A1%21%29%29 = %284%2F52%29%2A%283%2F51%29%2A%2848%2F50%29%2A%283%29 = 72%2F5525

...OR...

%284C2+%2A+48C1%29%2F%2852C3%29 = = %28%286%29%2A%2848%29%29%2F22100 = 288%2F22100 = 72%2F5525
