To divide fractions, you multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction. Therefore, dividing \( \frac{11}{14} \) by \( \frac{5}{6} \) can be expressed as:

\[
\frac{11}{14} \div \frac{5}{6} = \frac{11}{14} \times \frac{6}{5}
\]

Now multiply the numerators and the denominators:

\[
= \frac{11 \times 6}{14 \times 5} = \frac{66}{70}
\]

Next, we simplify \( \frac{66}{70} \) by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 66 and 70. The GCD is 2.

Now divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD:

\[
\frac{66 \div 2}{70 \div 2} = \frac{33}{35}
\]

Thus, the answer in simplest form is:

\[
\frac{33}{35}
\]
