To multiply two numbers in scientific notation, you can multiply the coefficients (the numbers in front) and add the exponents of the powers of ten.

Given:

\[
(3.5 \times 10^7) \times (7 \times 10^6)
\]

1. Multiply the coefficients:
\[
3.5 \times 7 = 24.5
\]

2. Add the exponents:
\[
10^7 \times 10^6 = 10^{(7+6)} = 10^{13}
\]

Now, combine these results:
\[
24.5 \times 10^{13}
\]

To write this in proper scientific notation, we need the coefficient to be between 1 and 10. Therefore, we can convert \(24.5\) to \(2.45\) and adjust the exponent accordingly:

\[
24.5 \times 10^{13} = 2.45 \times 10^{14}
\]

So, the final result in scientific notation is:

\[
\boxed{2.45 \times 10^{14}}
\]
