I don't know if it is much of a simplification but you could rationalize the denominator by multiplying the top and bottom by sqrt(21)

4/sqrt(21) = (4sqrt(21))/(21)

As I said, not much of an improvement, but some people prefer to keep roots out of the denominator.
There is no real simplification beyond this.

I would multiply and divide by sqrt(21) and get:
4/sqrt(21)*sqrt(21)/sqrt(21)=4sqrt(21)/21=sqrt(336)/21
