a(n) = n for n < 7; a(7n) = a(n); if every 7th term (a(7), a(14), a(21),...) is deleted, this gives back the original sequence.

COMMENTS
A self-generating sequence. This is the m=7 analog of the m=10 variant A126616. Sequence A117943 is the m=3 analog with all terms decreased by 1.
FORMULA
a(n) = a(n/7) if n==0 (mod 7); a(n) = a(n - floor(n/7)) otherwise.
PROG
(PARI) a(n, m=7)=while(n>=m, if(n%m, n-=n\m, n\=m)); n \\ M. F. Hasler, Mar 07 2015
