Answer:

8277

Step-by-step explanation:

Each person ≤ 1000000 hairs

8008277 ≤  x hairs

To determine the maximum number of people in NYC with the same number of hairs on their heads

we first find out how many groups have different amounts of hairs in the population

= 8008277 / 100000 = approximately 8 groups of people with different number of hairs

Hence The remainder which is = 8277 represents the number of people with the same number of hairs on their head
