How the 8 times table works
Multiplying by 8 means adding 8 to itself a certain number of times. For example, 8 × 3 means 8 added together 3 times. Once you know a few key facts - like ×1, ×2, ×5, and ×10 - the rest of the 8 times table becomes much easier to work out.
Fun factMost challenging
The 8 times table is double the 4 times table, which is itself double the 2 times table — three doublings in a row from a fact you already know.
Real-world example: A spider has 8 legs, so 3 spiders have 8 × 3 = 24 legs between them.
Worked examples
- 8 × 2 = 16 — this is just 8 doubled.
- 8 × 5 = 40 — half of 8 × 10.
- 8 × 10 = 80 — add a zero to 8.
Memorization tips
- Practice a little every day rather than cramming all at once - short, frequent repetition sticks better.
- Learn the ×1, ×2, ×5, and ×10 facts first - they unlock most of the rest of the table.
- Say the multiplication out loud while writing it down to use both memory and muscle memory.
- Spot the pattern: the ones digit of a times table often repeats in a predictable cycle.
- Quiz yourself in random order, not just 1 to 12 - it forces real recall instead of a memorized sequence.
