It’s neat but I think it works for any group of 7 digits. Try it with your SSN using the first three digits and the last 4. If your first digit is “0” substitute “1”

Yup, it's just a convoluted way of multiplying the first three digits by 1000 and then adding the last four.

There are only three kinds of mathematicians, those who can count and those who can't.

Does not work if you use a calculator that uses Mathematical Hierarchy of Operations (PEMDAS)

The problem specified no area code. That could be gotten in the mix by having to steps that multiplies the area code by 1,000,000. It will take some factoring of 1,000 and 1,000,000 to get some steps that work. I'll need a brain fart to work it out. Lets have a contest.
