To multiply the fractions $$ \frac{7}{20} $$ and $$ \frac{8}{49} $$, follow these steps:

1. **Multiply the numerators and denominators:**
   $$
   \frac{7}{20} \cdot \frac{8}{49} = \frac{7 \times 8}{20 \times 49} = \frac{56}{980}
   $$

2. **Simplify the fraction by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 56 and 980:**
   - The GCD of 56 and 980 is 28.
   
3. **Divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCD:**
   $$
   \frac{56 \div 28}{980 \div 28} = \frac{2}{35}
   $$

So, the simplified form of the multiplication is:

$$
\frac{7}{20} \cdot \frac{8}{49} = \frac{2}{35}
$$
