We realize that 49 = 7 2 49=7^2 thus if we find a number that has all the digits which are the same and is divisible by 7 7 we can multiply that by 7 7 and it will still have all the same digits. Thus by inspection we see that 111111 111111 is divisible by 7 7 thus our answer is 7 111111 49 = 15873 \frac{7*111111}{49}=\boxed{15873}
