You have an outstanding student loan with required payments of $ 500 per month for the next four years. The interest rate on the loan is 8 % APR​ (compounded monthly). Now that you realize your best investment is to prepay your student​ loan, you decide to prepay as much as you can each month. Looking at your​ budget, you can afford to pay an extra $ 200 a month in addition to your required monthly payments of $ 500​, or $ 700 in total each month. How long will it take you to pay off the​ loan? ​(Note: Be careful not to round any intermediate steps less than six decimal​ places.)
