Look at the number as two parts: the 8! part and the added part. The first part will always be divisible since 8! is divisible. The second part will only be divisible if it is a multiple of 4. So,

8!/4 --> 8*7*6*5*4*5*3*2*1---> so it is Divisible
(8!+1)/4 ----> 8!/4 First part + 1/4 second part ---> Notice 1st part is divisible (integer), 2nd part is not (will leave a remainder)

If we take (8!+4)/4 ----> 8!/4 First part + 4/4 second part ---> Notice 1st part is divisible (integer), 2nd part is also divisible (integer). So the whole number is divisible.

This will be the case for all the numbers after that. If the second part is not a multiple of 4, the whole number is not divisible, since there will be an integer part and a fraction part.
