$\frac{4}{3} or 1 \frac{1}{3}$ $4/3 or 1 1/3$

To simplify $\frac{10}{21} \div \frac{5}{14}$ $10/21 div 5/14$

Begin the inverting the divisor fraction to the reciprocal and multiply

$\frac{10}{21} \cdot \frac{14}{5}$ $10/21 * 14/5$

Now cross cancel to reduce the fractions

$(2cancel10)/(3cancel21) * (2cancel14)/(1cancel5)$

$2/3 * 2/1$

multiply the numerators across
multiply the denominators across

$2/3 * 2/1 = 4/3$

$4/3 or 1 1/3$
