Well the 8 is in the thousands and you want to know the relationship between the 4s, so we ignore the fact that its in the thousands place.
Since we are left with 444 (four hundred and forty four) because we are ignoring the 8, its simple.
The first four on your left is in the hundreds column, the next one is in the tens column and the last four is in the units.
Hope my answer helped :D
