-fill 5L pour into 7L

-fill 5L pour into 7L so that the 7L is now full

5L jar has 3L and 7L has 7L

-empty 7L

-pour the 3L from the 5 into the 7

-fill 5L pour into 7L so that the 7L is now full

5L jar has 1L and 7L is full

-fill 5L (again!) pour into 7L

7L jar now has 6L

-fill the 5L jar and pour into the 7L jar so that it is full

-since 1L is poured from 5L there is 4L remaining in it.

these water pouring questions work by the remainder when multiples of the smaller container are divided by the larger container (that's why the procedure is so repetitive!)
