To divide fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

Here’s the step-by-step process:

\[
\frac{4}{7} \div \frac{3}{4} = \frac{4}{7} \times \frac{4}{3}
\]

Now multiply the numerators and the denominators:

\[
\frac{4 \times 4}{7 \times 3} = \frac{16}{21}
\]

So, \(\frac{4}{7} \div \frac{3}{4} = \frac{16}{21}\).
