84 months means you have seven years to pay back a loan. It can make monthly payments smaller, but you might end up paying more money in total because of interest.

Technical Definition

84 months refers to a loan term of seven years. This is the duration over which the borrower agrees to repay the loan. Longer loan terms can lead to lower monthly payments but may result in paying more interest overall.
