To divide fractions, flip the divisor (the one doing the dividing) and multiply, like this:
%286%2F11%29%2F%284%2F7%29=+%286%2F11%29%2A%287%2F4%29=+42%2F44
Both are divisible by 2, so we simplify: %2842%2F2%29=21 and %2844%2F2%29=+22, so we now have= 21%2F22 This is your answer, since 21 and 22 don't have any common factors.
