document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Therefore, the number under the question should be close to 8.96 from the lower side.\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Inspired by this observation, I write  720 = 8*9*10,  using factors that are close to 8.96.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "From this decomposition, it is clear that the answer is 8.\r\n" );
