A sports event lasted for $n$ days ($n > 1$) and a total of $m$ medals were distributed. On the first day, one medal was given out, and $\frac{1}{7}$ of the remaining $m-1$ medals were given out. On the second day, two medals were given out, and $\frac{1}{7}$ of the remaining medals were distributed. This pattern continued, and on the $n$-th day, $n$ medals were given out, leaving no medals.
