To divide by a fraction, we multiply by its reciprocal. So, we need to divide 8 by $$\frac{4}{7}$$.

1. Find the reciprocal of $$\frac{4}{7}$$. The reciprocal is $$\frac{7}{4}$$.

2. Multiply 8 by the reciprocal:
$$8 \div \frac{4}{7} = 8 \times \frac{7}{4} = \frac{8 \times 7}{4} = \frac{56}{4}$$

3. Simplify the fraction:
$$\frac{56}{4} = 14$$

So, the result is:
$$8 \div \frac{4}{7} = 14$$

Answer: 14
