1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $$10 \sqrt{20} \times \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{5}}$$.
2. **Recall the formula and rules:** When multiplying and dividing expressions with square roots, use the property $$\sqrt{a} \times \sqrt{b} = \sqrt{a \times b}$$ and simplify fractions by canceling common factors.
3. **Rewrite the expression:**
$$10 \sqrt{20} \times \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{5}} = \frac{10 \sqrt{20}}{2 \sqrt{5}}$$
4. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$\frac{10}{2} = \cancel{\frac{10}{2}} 5$$
So the expression becomes:
$$5 \times \frac{\sqrt{20}}{\sqrt{5}}$$
5. **Use the property of square roots division:**
$$\frac{\sqrt{20}}{\sqrt{5}} = \sqrt{\frac{20}{5}}$$
6. **Simplify inside the square root:**
$$\sqrt{\frac{20}{5}} = \sqrt{4}$$
7. **Calculate the square root:**
$$\sqrt{4} = 2$$
8. **Multiply the simplified terms:**
$$5 \times 2 = 10$$
**Final answer:**
$$10$$
