How many terms does 1000 888 88 have?

1000 - 888 = 112, and we have five eights left, so we must use two eights for 88, leaving us with three eights. 112 - 88 = 24 = 3 * 8 = 8 + 8 + 8, so we are done. 8 + 8 + 8 + 88 + 888 = 1000, which has the requisite five terms. Another way to look at it is going back to the first assertion that there must be five terms.
