1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $1\frac{4}{7} \div \frac{2}{3} - 1\frac{5}{7}$.
2. **Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions:**
$$1\frac{4}{7} = \frac{7 \times 1 + 4}{7} = \frac{11}{7}$$
$$1\frac{5}{7} = \frac{7 \times 1 + 5}{7} = \frac{12}{7}$$
3. **Rewrite the expression:**
$$\frac{11}{7} \div \frac{2}{3} - \frac{12}{7}$$
4. **Division of fractions rule:**
Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal:
$$\frac{a}{b} \div \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{d}{c}$$
5. **Apply the rule:**
$$\frac{11}{7} \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{11 \times 3}{7 \times 2} = \frac{33}{14}$$
6. **Rewrite the expression:**
$$\frac{33}{14} - \frac{12}{7}$$
7. **Find common denominator:**
The denominator 14 is a multiple of 7, so convert $\frac{12}{7}$ to fourteenths:
$$\frac{12}{7} = \frac{12 \times 2}{7 \times 2} = \frac{24}{14}$$
8. **Subtract the fractions:**
$$\frac{33}{14} - \frac{24}{14} = \frac{33 - 24}{14} = \frac{9}{14}$$
**Final answer:**
$$\boxed{\frac{9}{14}}$$
