To solve \( \frac{4}{7} \times \frac{3}{8} \), multiply the numerators and then the denominators:

\[
\frac{4}{7} \times \frac{3}{8} = \frac{4 \times 3}{7 \times 8} = \frac{12}{56}
\]

Next, simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 4:

\[
\frac{12}{56} = \frac{12 \div 4}{56 \div 4} = \frac{3}{14}
\]

Thus, \( \frac{4}{7} \times \frac{3}{8} = \frac{3}{14} \).
