1 * 84
2 * 42
3 * 28
4 * 21
6 * 14
7 * 12

positive multiples of 7 are:
7,14,21,28,35,42,49,56,63,70,77,84

the factors of 84 that are also multiples of 7 are:

84,42,28,21,14,7

you are given that the number is odd.

the odd ones are 7 and 21.

it could be either.

7 is a factor of 84.
7 is a multiple of 7.
7 is odd.

21 is a factor of 84.
21 is a multiple of 7.
21 is odd.

if you assume that the multiple of 7 can't be 7, then the number has to be 21.
