A function 
is periodic if there is some constant 
such that 
for all 
in the domain of . Then is the "period" of .
Example:
If
, then we have 
, and so 
is periodic with period 
.
It gets a bit more complicated for a function like yours. We're looking for such that
Expanding on the left, you have
and
It follows that the following must be satisfied:
The first two equations are satisfied whenever
, or more generally, when 
and 
(i.e. any multiple of 4).
The second two are satisfied whenever
, and more generally when 
with (any multiple of 10/7).
It then follows that all four equations will be satisfied whenever the two sets above intersect. This happens when is any common multiple of 4 and 10/7. The least positive one would be 20, which means the period for your function is 20.
Let's verify:
More generally, it can be shown that
is periodic with period
.
