To multiply two fractions, multiply the numerators together to get the new numerator and the denominators together to get the new denominator. Simplify the resulting fraction if possible.
Step 1: Multiply the Fractions
To multiply the fractions \( \frac{1}{6} \) and \( \frac{2}{3} \), we multiply the numerators and the denominators:
\[
\frac{1 \cdot 2}{6 \cdot 3} = \frac{2}{18}
\]
Step 2: Simplify the Result
Next, we simplify the fraction \( \frac{2}{18} \) by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator, which is 2:
\[
\frac{2 \div 2}{18 \div 2} = \frac{1}{9}
\]
Final Answer
The result of multiplying \( \frac{1}{6} \) and \( \frac{2}{3} \) is
\[
\boxed{\frac{1}{9}}
\]
