I'm with Hammondman on the inversions, and as far as your seventh chords, it depends on what type of chord your playing. If it is a CMajor7 the 7th is natural  
C E G B
if it is C7 the the 7th in the c scale is flattened
C E G Bb
If it is Cminor 7th ,again the 7th is flattened
C Eb G Bb
And if it is C dim7 the 7th is understood to be double flat
C Eb Gb A

So now if you start inverting these you have even more fingerings because you have four notes

Usually these are the fingers that are used:
(for the right hand)

ROOT - 135 (thumb, middle finger, pinky)
1INV - 125 (thumb, second finder, pinky)
2INV - 135

That's usually the way a classical teacher would show you. Sometimes I deviate from these, when the next chord or key I have to press is distant.

The left hand is the same the numbers are just backwards.
