I assume you're supposed to establish the identity,

cos(A) cos(2A) cos(4A) = 1/8 sin(8A) / sin(A)

Recall the double angle identity for sine:

sin(2x) = 2 sin(x) cos(x)

Then you have

sin(8A) = 2 sin(4A) cos(4A)

sin(8A) = 4 sin(2A) cos(2A) cos(4A)

sin(8A) = 8 sin(A) cos(A) cos(2A) cos(4A)

==> sin(8A)/(8 sin(A)) = cos(A) cos(2A) cos(4A)

as required.
