problem

A particular geometric sequence has strictly decreasing terms. After the first term, each successive term is calculated by multiplying the previous term by m7\frac{m}{7}. If the first term of the sequence is positive, how many possible integer values are there for mm?
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
A particular geometric sequence has strictly decreasing terms. After the first term, each successive term is calculated by multiplying the previous term by (m)/(7). If the first term of the sequence is positive, how many possible integer values are there for m?
Original LaTeX notation
A particular geometric sequence has strictly decreasing terms. After the first term, each successive term is calculated by multiplying the previous term by $\frac{m}{7}$. If the first term of the sequence is positive, how many possible integer values are there for $m$?
