One of the number =
(1)/(7)

To find:-

The other number.


\huge{\boxed{\boxed{\tt{\purple{Solution\:⤵}}}}}


\sf\blue{The \:other \:number \:is\: 14.}

Step-by-step explanation:-

❥ Let the other number be
x.

❥ As per the question, we have


product \: of \: two \: rational \: numbers \: = 2 \\ ⇢  (1)/(7) * x = 2 \\ ⇢ x = 2 * 7 \\ ⇢ x = 14


\sf\red{Therefore,\:the\:other\: number\: is\: 14.}

To verify:-


(1)/(7) * 14 = 2 \\➪ \: (14)/(7) = 2 \\ ➪ \: 2 = 2\\ ➪ \: L. H. S. = R. H. S.

Hence verified.
