You say Myrtle, I say Maple, It was an exotic US pink cherry
You need to work on the alphabet word challenge under 'vowel' in the Quiz section to get your freebies.
Maths is obviously too easy for you, we need to get you off the straight and narrow.
7x62 times is really only small number (in relation to many primes and is obviously not a prime in any event.....just give me a little time to divide by 199.... I know the last four digits, but the rest by long hand division will take an hour or so.

Simple
You just got out your book of 'prime numbers' and multiplied them individually x 199 until you got a number that consisted of a series of sevens.

Let the number be 77777….77777
Now rewrite the number to
7 +
70 +
700 +
7 * 10^3 +
7 * 10^4 +
.
.
.
7 * 10^n
knowing
7 / 199 , remainder = 7
70 / 199, remainder = 70
700 / 199, remainder = 103
7000 / 199, remainder = 103 * 10 = 1030 and 1030 / 199, remainder = 35
7 * 10^4 / 199, remainder = 35 * 10 = 350 and 350 / 199, remainder = 151
.
.
.
and so on.
If 77777….77777 is divisible by 199 then the sum of the remainders must be divisible by 199 too.
hence remainder of (7 + 70 + 103 + 35 + 151 + ...) / 199 is 0
In Excel, the table shows remainder of each digit and the sums. The first sum that has 0 as remainder is the answer. See row 100.Visit my website at www.myFineWoodWork.com

Sorry dude, I have been missing the "a" all day. I was too excited. It should be remainder.

You guys! I go away for the day and look what happens behind my back!!
You're all playing with sevens without me!
Although I don't think I could have played with them as good as Wongo.anne-maria.
