I'm also trying to figure out some useful properties of the floor function but none of them seems useful.

There's nothing particularly interesting about floor function as far as I can tell -- that's just there to make it clear that the decimals need to be lopped off so that you can take the last 8 digits of the end result. The tough part is getting the right value for x^987654321 because the right value is heavily dependent on how precise x is -- but the level of precision you'd need is stupidly high.
