Find the number of distinct values of this expression:
⌊N/4⌋ - ⌊N/7⌋ - ⌊N/14⌋ - ⌊N/28⌋

Notes:
1) ⌊x⌋ is the floor of x, which is the greatest integer less than or equal to x.

This is a complex symmetric polynomial system. If <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><mi>A</mi><mo separator="true">,</mo><mi>B</mi><mo separator="true">,</mo><mi>C</mi></mrow><annotation encoding="application/x-tex">A, B, C</annotation></semantics></math> were real and roughly equal, we could approximate Football Bros Game them and calculate the result numerically.
