To solve the expression \(\frac{12}{7} \times \frac{21}{24}\), follow these steps:

1. Multiply the numerators: \(12 \times 21\).
2. Multiply the denominators: \(7 \times 24\).

\[
\frac{12 \times 21}{7 \times 24}
\]

First, calculate the products:

\[
12 \times 21 = 252
\]
\[
7 \times 24 = 168
\]

So, the expression becomes:

\[
\frac{252}{168}
\]

Next, simplify the fraction. Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 252 and 168. The GCD is 84.

\[
\frac{252 \div 84}{168 \div 84} = \frac{3}{
