MindSumo Launches Innovation Challenge: Pirate Coins

Seven pirates have found a treasure chest full of coins, but decide to rest and then divide the coins later. While everyone is sleeping, two pirates wake up and plan on dividing the coins evenly amongst themselves but find that 1 coin is left. So they wake up a third pirate and try dividing the coins and finding that yet again, 1 coin is left. After waking up a fourth, fifth, and sixth pirate, they still find they have one coin remaining. Finally, they wake up the last pirate and the coins get divided equally. How many coins were there? Enter just the number Difficulty: 6/10
