Show that a group of order $2016=2^5 3^2 7$ is not simple

That's a question I found in a french list of exercises online. I'm preparing myself for an exam, I think solving this question would really help. Thank you

The tip given by the exercise is to analyse the 7-Sylow.

I can't go any farther than $n_7=1$ or $8$ or $36$ or $288$.

Then I should analyse for each case.

I found similar questions online but couldn't quite understand the reasoning behind. They always show that the number of the Sylows can't be different than 1, which should show that the 7-Sylow is normal. The problem is that I can't understand how the usually get to show that $n_7=1$.

Would you please help me solve it or send maybe some papers about it or solved similar exercises?
