To solve the equation \( \frac{1}{7} X = 3 \), you can use the inverse operation to isolate \( X \).

The inverse operation of multiplying by \( \frac{1}{7} \) is to multiply by its reciprocal, which is 7.

Here are the steps:

1. Start with the equation:
\[
\frac{1}{7} X = 3
\]

2. Multiply both sides of the equation by 7:
\[
7 \times \frac{1}{7} X = 7 \times 3
\]

3. This simplifies to:
\[
X = 21
\]

So, the solution is:
\[
X = 21
\]
