You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you list the first,few múltiples of 7, from smallest to greater,
7, 14, 21, 28, 35, ..... ,
you find that highlight%2821%29 is a solution.
However, adding any multiple of 7%2A8=56
would give you another solution.
21%2B56=77 would be the only other reasonable solution.
