$$ \begin{aligned} 4\cdot\frac{1}{3} &= 0&& \text{multiply ALL terms by } \color{blue}{ 3 }. \\[1 em]3\cdot4\cdot\frac{1}{3} &= 3\cdot0&& \text{cancel out the denominators} \\[1 em]4 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{red}{ 4 = 0 } $ is FALSE, we conclude that the equation has no solution.
