You need to supply num1 and num2 to the parameters of the multiply() function. Also, your app.route decorators are one line above the function, which will not allow for it to work. My solution is:

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/multiply')
@app.route('/multiply/<num1>/<num2>')
def multiply(num1, num2):
    return str(5 * 5)
    return str(num1 * num2)
