issues installing virtual box on 4.5.0-22.el7.aarch64

Im trying to install Virtual box on linux ver 4.5.0-22.el7.aarch64. When I try to do it the repo way I get error:

"/virtualbox/rpm/el/7/aarch64/repodata/repomd.xml [Errno 14] Error 404 - Not Found
Trying other mirror.
One of the configured repositories failed (Oracle Linux / RHEL / CentOS-7 / aarch64 - VirtualBox),
and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only
safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this:

1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.....etc"

Therefore I try to install virtual box using an rpm. I tried many different rpm's and for every one I get error of "Not a compatible architecture". It seems no packages are compatible architectures for this install.
I even tried installing from the .run file.

Is there a problem right now or am I missing something. Your help is appreciated.

aarch64 is the Linux architecture for 64bit ARM processors. VirtualBox virtualises, and therefore only runs on, x86 processor architectures.

If you look at the first part of the repository URL: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/rhel/7/ you see the only option is for x86_64.
