It is convenient to convert both mixed fractions into improper fractions (numerator larger than denominator). To divide, multiply using the reciprocal of the divisor.
Example:

Changing the mixed numbers to improper fractions gives the division
28/5 divided by 14/3
To divide by a fraction, you can invert its values (multiply by the reciprocal), giving
28/5 x 3/14
Multiply the numerators 28 x 3 = 84 and the denominators 5 x 14 = 70
The answer is 84/70 which reduces to 1 14/70 or 1 1/5
