1. The problem is to calculate 4 divided by 14. 2. The division formula is $ \frac{a}{b} $, where $a$ is the numerator and $b$ is the denominator. 3. Here, $a=4$ and $b=14$, so the expression is $ \frac{4}{14} $. 4. Simplify the fraction by dividing numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2. 5. Write the intermediate step with cancellation: $$\frac{\cancel{4}^{2}}{\cancel{14}^{7}} = \frac{2}{7}$$ 6. The simplified result is $ \frac{2}{7} $. 7. Therefore, 4 divided by 14 equals $ \frac{2}{7} $.
