88=2^3 ×11  x=n+f⇒n^4 ≤88  3^4 =81  ⇒3≤n<4  x=3+f (f>0)  (3+f)⌊(3+f)⌊9+3f⌋⌋=88  (3+f)⌊(3+f)(9+⌊3f⌋)⌋=88  (3+f)⌊27+9f+3⌊3f⌋+f⌊3f⌋⌋=88  81+27f+...=88  f<(1/3) ∵27×(1/3)=9>7 ⇒⌊3f⌋=0  (3+f)⌊27+9f⌋=88  81+27f+f⌊9f⌋+3⌊9f⌋=88  27f+f⌊9f⌋+3⌊9f⌋=7  x<(1/3)⇒⌊9f⌋=2,1,0  ⌊9f⌋=0⇒f=(7/(27))  ⇒⌊9f⌋>0 (invalid)  ⌊9f⌋=1⇒f=(1/7) ⇒⌊9f⌋=1 (valid)  ⌊9f⌋=2⇒f=(1/(29))⇒⌊9f⌋=0 (invalid)  x=3+f=((22)/7)
