One mile= 63360 inches, and the risers of the steps of the capitol building are 8 inches high. Barry is visiting the capitol, and as he climbs up from the one-mile step, his altitude above sea level, in inches, is given by the following sequence:

63360, 63368, 63376, 63384, 63392

what is Barry's altitude above sea level, in inches, when he is standing on the 55th step above the one-mile step (counting the one-mile step itself as step #1)?
