For an elliptic curve over the rationals, optimal in its isogeny class, with a rational point of order 7 but L E (1) ≠ 0, we prove that 7 divides the product of the Tamagawa factors with the order of the Shafarevich–Tate group. This is a small consequence of the Birch and Swinnerton‐Dyer conjecture.
