# --description--
We can easily verify that none of the entries in the first seven rows of Pascal's triangle are divisible by 7:
<pre>
1
1 1
1 2 1
1 3 3 1
1 4 6 4 1
1 5 10 10 5 1
1 6 15 20 15 6 1
</pre>
However, if we check the first one hundred rows, we will find that only 2361 of the 5050 entries are not divisible by 7.
# --instructions--
Find the number of entries which are not divisible by 7 in the first one billion (10<sup>9</sup>) rows of Pascal's triangle.
# --hints--
`euler148()` should return 2129970655314432.
```js
assert.strictEqual(euler148(), 2129970655314432);
```
# --seed--
## --seed-contents--
```js
function euler148() {
return true;
}
euler148();
```
# --solutions--
```js
// solution required
```
