Numerical Analysis

Did you know that if you took 8 eights and using only addition you could show an answer of 1000?
..............8
..............8
..............8
............88
........+888
.....---------
........1000

*********************************************

Now having seen that can you take 8 nines and using only the 4 common operands (+,-,*,/) come up with the result of 1000?

*999
+9
/9 = 1000
+9
-9 =1000

I can do it with 6 (9's) and 8 (9's)!!

OK, smarty. Those are two great answers but want can you do with 8 threes or 8 seven and have the result equal 1000?
