Ah, you're one of those people. :)

Multiplication and division are on the same level in the order of operation 
(PEMDAS):

1) Parenthesis
2) Exponents
3) Multiplication AND Division
4) Addition AND Subtraction

No need to make it harder than it is, and also no need to add anything to it. 
Just do it from left to right.

7 / 7 / 7 x 7 = 1

At least you answered it first, so you get whatever ticket that other guy was 
offering. :)

Regards,
Nick
