We can easily verify that none of the entries in the first seven rows of Pascal's triangle are divisible by $7$:

$1$
$1$ $1$
$1$ $2$ $1$
$1$ $3$ $3$ $1$
$1$ $4$ $6$ $4$ $1$
$1$ $5$ $10$ $10$ $5$ $1$
$1$ $6$ $15$ $20$ $15$ $6$ $1$

However, if we check the first one hundred rows, we will find that only $2361$ of the $5050$ entries are not divisible by $7$.

Find the number of entries which are not divisible by $7$ in the first one billion ($10^9$) rows of Pascal's triangle.
