Use a unit circle or reference table to see that
sin(pi/4) = sqrt(2)/2
note: pi/4 radians = 45 degrees
From here, add on 2pi to get a coterminal angle
pi/4 + 2pi = pi/4 + 8pi/4 = 9pi/4
Use your calculator to get
8pi = 25.1327412287183
9pi/4 = 7.06858347057703
So 9pi/4 is not larger than 8pi
We need to add on another multiple of 2pi
9pi/4 + 2pi = 9pi/4 + 8pi/4 = 17pi/4
17pi/4 = 13.3517687777567
which is not bigger than 8pi = 25.1327
So we need to add on yet another multiple of 2pi
We keep going until the result is larger than 8pi = 25.1327
17pi/4+2pi = 17pi/4+8pi/4 = 25pi/4
25pi/4 = 19.6349540849362
Still not big enough
Add on another 2pi
25pi/4+2pi = 25pi/4+8pi/4 = 33pi/4
33pi/4 = 25.918139
Now this is finally bigger than 8pi = 25.1327
Answer: theta = 33pi/4

means a reference angle of 45 degrees, or pi/4. That means an angle of 2k(pi)+pi/4 or 2k(pi)+3pi/4.
8pi is an integer multiple of 2pi; the smallest angle greater than 8pi with a sine of sqrt(2)/2 is
