To simplify this expression, we will use the following rules of exponents:

1) When dividing two exponents with the same base, we subtract the exponents.
2) When raising a power to another power, we multiply the exponents.

Using these rules, we can simplify the expression as follows:

(14a^4b^6c^-10)/(8a^-2b^3c^-5)
= (14/8) * (a^4/a^-2) * (b^6/b^3) * (c^-10/c^-5)
= (7/4) * a^(4 - (-2)) * b^(6 - 3) * c^(-10 - (-5))
= (7/4) * a^6 * b^3 * c^-5

Therefore, the simplified expression is (7/4) * a^6 * b^3 * c^-5.
