The first multiple of 7 greater than 200 is 203

I know that √203 = appr 14.25

so if I take 14 x 15 to get 210

I get a multiple of 7 and a number > 200

I have given you the smallest such pair

of course there would be an infinite number of such pairs.
e.g.
21x22
28x29
are only 2 examples of consecutive numbers whose LCM is greater than 200 and that LCM is a multiple of 7
