​(Type a simplified​ fraction.)

To multiply two fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

Given:

\[
\frac{2}{21} \times \frac{7}{24}
\]

First, multiply the numerators:

\[
2 \times 7 = 14
\]

Then, multiply the denominators:

\[
21 \times 24 = 504
\]

Now, the product of the fractions is:

\[
\frac{14}{504}
\]

Next, simplify the fraction. Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 14 and 504, which is 14:

\[
\frac{14 \div 14}{504 \div 14} = \frac{1}{36}
\]

Thus, the answer in simplest form is:

\[
\frac{1}{36}
\]
