The result of dividing \(24\) by \(84\) can be simplified as a fraction:

\[
\frac{24}{84}
\]

To simplify this fraction, we find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of \(24\) and \(84\). The GCD of \(24\) and \(84\) is \(12\).

Now, divide both the numerator and the denominator by \(12\):

\[
\frac{24 \div 12}{84 \div 12} = \frac{2}{7}
\]

So, \( \frac{24}{84} \) simplifies to \( \frac{2}{7} \).
