To reduce the fraction k+7/4k+28 to the lowest term, factor out 4 out of 4k+28 then cancel the common factor.
> k+7/4k+28 
> k+7/4(k+7)
4 can be factored out of 4k+28 because 4 times k plus 4 times 7 is still 4k+28.
Now, cancel the common factor k+7.
> k+7/4(k+7)
> 1/4 or 0.25
The lowest term of k+7/4k+28 is 1/4 or 0.25.
