Just try  0      divide by 7  if not    try  1   divide by 7    if not try 2   divide by 7   if not......

    (if it is 0 1 2  there will be a second one that will work)

let's say A=0

987,654,320/7 = 141093474.286

 

the .286 represents that we are 1 - 0.286 = 0.714 off from making 987,654,320 to be divisible by 7 wholly, therefore:

987,654,320 + 7 * 0.714 = 987,654,325
