Answer

\(\boxed{x < 16}\) is the final answer.

Steps

Step 1 ：Let the number be represented as x. The given condition is: \(4x - 8 < 56\)

Step 2 ：To solve the inequality, first add 8 to both sides: \(4x < 64\)

Step 3 ：Next, divide both sides by 4: \(x < 16\)

Step 4 ：\(\boxed{x < 16}\) is the final answer.
