I managed to reduce it to the form $$\cot(\frac{1}{7})<7$$ But I still don't know how to prove it

Does this answer your question? Why $x<\tan{x}$ while $0<x<\frac{\pi}{2}$? – Martin R Jan 26 '20 at 15:25

Note that
$$x -\tan^{-1}x=\int_0^x \frac{t^2}{1+t^2}dt>0$$
for $x> 0$. Then, let $x=\frac17$ to get $\frac17> \tan^{-1}\frac17=\cot^{-1}7$, or
$$\cot \frac17< 7$$
