The question has no unique answer.
If anyone comes along and gives a number that is almost '8' but not quite, then no matter how close to '8' it is,
I can ALWAYS give another number that is larger, and closer to '8', but still less than '8'.
There is no 'greatest' that answers this question.
The best we can do for an answer is: "Seven, followed by a decimal point, followed by an infinite number of nines".
