The 8 times table
Eight is two doubled three times — so the 8s are just doubling, three times over.
- 8×1=8
- 8×2=16
- 8×3=24
- 8×4=32
- 8×5=40
- 8×6=48
- 8×7=56
- 8×8=64
- 8×9=72
- 8×10=80
- 8×11=88
- 8×12=96
How to learn the 8s
Each line means “8 groups of”. So 8 × 4 = 32 means four groups of 8 make 32. Every answer is just 8 more than the one before: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40…
The highlighted facts, 8 × 6 = 48, 8 × 7 = 56 and 8 × 8 = 64, are the ones learners usually find hardest. The tips below give you a way into each one.
Self-test: press “Hide answers”, say each answer out loud, then tap a fact to check it.
In real life
Spiders and octopuses have 8 legs. Three spiders have 8 × 3 = 24 legs.
Three ways to make the 8s easy
Double, double, double
Double the number three times.
8 × 6: 6 → 12 → 24 → 48Ten times, minus two times
8 is 2 less than 10, so take two of the number away from ten of them.
8 × 7 = 70 − 14 = 565, 6, 7, 8
The digits count up: 56 = 7 × 8.
8 × 7 = 56Spot the pattern
Last digits of 8 × 1 to 8 × 10:
Endings count down by 2. The last digits go 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and repeat: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48…
Inside the 4s and 2s. Every 8s answer is also in the 4s and the 2s tables, because 8 = 2 × 4.
A chessboard square. 8 × 8 = 64 is a square number — a chessboard has 64 squares.
The matching division facts
Every multiplication fact gives you a division fact for free. If 8 × 6 = 48, then 48 ÷ 8 = 6.
- 8 ÷ 8 = 1
- 16 ÷ 8 = 2
- 24 ÷ 8 = 3
- 32 ÷ 8 = 4
- 40 ÷ 8 = 5
- 48 ÷ 8 = 6
- 56 ÷ 8 = 7
- 64 ÷ 8 = 8
- 72 ÷ 8 = 9
- 80 ÷ 8 = 10
- 88 ÷ 8 = 11
- 96 ÷ 8 = 12
