The lowest common denominator (LCD), is 77
I know this for sure because both 7 and 11
have no divisors (they are prime numbers).
-----------
Expressing the fractions with LCDs,
%283%2F7%29%2A%2811%2F11%29+=+33%2F77 and
%285%2F11%29%2A%2876%2F7%29+=+35%2F77
--------------------
The number between them is 34%2F77
There are many more numbers between them,
but that one is the easiest to find.
