If Jefferson has 56 bananas and Walter has 1/4 times fewer bananas, Walter has 56/4 = 14 fewer bananas than Jefferson.
So Walter has 56 - 14 = 42 bananas.
If Jefferson and Walter combine their bananas, they have 56 + 42 = 98 bananas in total.
If they decide to divide the bananas equally, each person will receive 98/2 = 49 bananas.
Therefore, Walter will receive 49 bananas.
#### 49
The answer is: 49
