A woman was carrying a basket of eggs to market when a passerby bumped her. She dropped the basket and all the eggs broke. The passerby, wishing to pay for her loss, asked:
“How many eggs were in your basket?“
“I don't remember exactly,“ the woman replied, “but I do recall that whether I divided the eggs by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, there was always 1 egg left over. When I took the eggs out in groups of 7, I emptied the basket.“

What is the least number of eggs that broke?
