$$\frac{x}{2}+\frac{x}{4}+\frac{x}{8}=\frac{7x}{8}$$, and this plus 507 equals x.

$$\frac{7x}{8}+507=x, \frac{x}{8}=507$$

Can you find x from here? Just multiply each side by eight.

You are very welcome!

:P

U didn't know what mean integer division like me(

I think by "Integer Division", you mean the "Floor Function"!.

Using Numberline graph, it gives the following solutions:

x =4039, 4043, 4045, 4046, 4049, 4050, 4052 and 4056.

I assume the "Floor Function": $$\left\lfloor\dfrac{x}{2}\right\rfloor+\left\lfloor\dfrac{x}{4}\right\rfloor+\left\lfloor\dfrac{x}{8}\right\rfloor+507=x$$

So x is an integer.

We rearrange:

$$\left\lfloor\dfrac{4x}{8}\right\rfloor+\left\lfloor\dfrac{2x}{8}\right\rfloor+\left\lfloor\dfrac{x}{8}\right\rfloor+507=x$$

We substitute: $$y= \dfrac{x}{8}$$
$$\left\lfloor 4y \right\rfloor+\left\lfloor 2y \right\rfloor+\left\lfloor y \right\rfloor+507=x$$

$$\text{The fractional part of \mathbf{y} is \alpha and 0 < \alpha < 1 } \\ \text{The integer part of \mathbf{y} is n }\\ \text{So \mathbf{y = n+\alpha}} \\ \text{\mathbf{x = \lfloor 8y \rfloor} = \lfloor 8(n+\alpha)\rfloor=8n+\lfloor 8\alpha\rfloor}$$

$$\begin{array}{|rcll|} \hline \left\lfloor 4(n+\alpha)\right\rfloor+\left\lfloor 2(n+\alpha) \right\rfloor+\left\lfloor n+\alpha\right\rfloor+507 &=& 8n+\lfloor 8\alpha\rfloor \\\\ \mathbf{\left\lfloor 4n+4\alpha\right\rfloor+\left\lfloor 2n+2\alpha \right\rfloor+\left\lfloor n+\alpha \right\rfloor+507}&\mathbf{=}& \mathbf{8n+\lfloor 8\alpha\rfloor} \\ \hline \end{array}$$

We divide alpha into 8 parts:

$$0 < \alpha < \frac{1}{8},\ \frac{1}{8} \le \alpha < \frac{2}{8},\ \frac{2}{8} \le \alpha < \frac{3}{8},\ \frac{3}{8} \le \alpha < \frac{4}{8} ,\ \frac{4}{8} \le \alpha < \frac{5}{8},\ \frac{5}{8} \le \alpha < \frac{6}{8},\ \frac{6}{8} \le \alpha < \frac{7}{8},\ \frac{7}{8} \le \alpha < \frac{8}{8}$$
