To multiply the fractions \( \frac{2}{6} \) and \( \frac{1}{7} \), you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
\[
\frac{2}{6} \times \frac{1}{7} = \frac{2 \times 1}{6 \times 7} = \frac{2}{42}
\]
Next, simplify \( \frac{2}{42} \) to its lowest terms. Both the numerator and denominator can be divided by 2:
\[
\frac{2 \div 2}{42 \div 2} = \frac{1}{21}
\]
So, in lowest terms,
\[
\frac{2}{6} \times \frac{1}{7} = \frac{1}{21}.
\]
\[
\frac{2}{6} \times \frac{1}{7} = \frac{2 \times 1}{6 \times 7} = \frac{2}{42}
\]
Next, simplify \( \frac{2}{42} \) to its lowest terms. Both the numerator and denominator can be divided by 2:
\[
\frac{2 \div 2}{42 \div 2} = \frac{1}{21}
\]
So, in lowest terms,
\[
\frac{2}{6} \times \frac{1}{7} = \frac{1}{21}.
\]
