Can you find a 76-digit multiple of 276, written exclusively with 7s and 6s?

If you multiply by 7*576, you'll get 7*1076.

If you add 276 * 3*575, you'll get 7.6*1076.

If you add 276 * 4*574, you'll get 7.76*1076

If we continue in this fashion and find some kind of pattern, we may be able to find a solution.

Edit: I've realized since that 1076 is a 77 digit number
