Learn the 8 Times Table
The 8 times table has a powerful mental-math shortcut: multiplying by 8 is the same as doubling a number three times.
Learn the multiplication table of 8 from 8 × 1 to 8 × 12, connect it to facts you already know, and practice the calculations that take you the longest to recall.
Start with 7 and keep doubling: 7 → 14 → 28 → 56.

Multiply by 8 With Three Doublings
Since 8 = 2 × 2 × 2, you can find eight times a number by doubling once, doubling the result, and then doubling it a third time.
The first doubling gives 2 × 6 = 12, the second gives 4 × 6 = 24, and the third gives 8 × 6 = 48. The method therefore builds the answer through multiplication facts that are already easier to calculate.
See the Connection Between ×2, ×4 and ×8
The 2, 4 and 8 times tables form a useful doubling chain. For the same multiplier, each product is twice the one before it.
2 × 7 = 14
4 × 7 = 28
8 × 7 = 56
2 × 9 = 18
4 × 9 = 36
8 × 9 = 72
Simply double a ×4 product to obtain the matching ×8 product. For example, 4 × 11 = 44, so 8 × 11 = 88.
Review the 4 times table if you want to strengthen this connection before practicing the harder ×8 facts.
Use 8 × 8 = 64 as the Center of the Table
Learning 8 × 8 = 64 gives you a convenient anchor for two neighboring facts. Move one group of 8 backward or forward to recover ×7 and ×9.
These are four consecutive ×8 products. Once one is secure, adding or subtracting 8 gives you a quick route to a neighboring fact.
The number 64 is also a square number because 8 × 8 = 8² = 64.
Notice the Repeating Last Digits
The ones digits of consecutive multiples of 8 follow a repeating five-step cycle. This pattern is useful as an accuracy check rather than as a replacement for learning the products.
The third position in the cycle ends in 4.
Five positions later, the final digit is 4 again.
A whole-number multiple of 8 cannot end in 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9. If your answer is odd, you know immediately that it needs checking.
Build ×9, ×11 and ×12 Around 8 × 10
Since 8 × 10 = 80 is easy to recall, it can act as a landmark for several facts near the end of the table.
This gives you a second strategy for the upper part of the table. For example, if repeated doubling feels slow for 8 × 12, start with 80 and add 8 × 2 = 16 to reach 96.
Practice the 8 Times Table
Use repeated doubling when you need it, then keep practicing until facts such as 8 × 7, 8 × 8 and 8 × 9 come to mind without the intermediate steps.

Learn the ×8 Facts Around 64
Instead of repeatedly counting from 8, build a small group of connected facts around the square 8 × 8 = 64.
Move from 8 × 8 to 8 × 7.
Move from 8 × 8 to 8 × 9.
These relationships are useful while learning, but the eventual goal is direct recall. Once you can answer 8 × 7, 8 × 8 and 8 × 9 immediately, use practice sessions to strengthen the remaining facts that still feel slower.
8 Times Table Questions
Review common ×8 multiplication facts and the main shortcuts used to calculate them.
What is the 8 times table?
From 8 × 1 to 8 × 12, the products are 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88 and 96.
What is 8 × 6?
8 × 6 = 48. You can find it by doubling 6 three times: 6 → 12 → 24 → 48.
What is 8 × 7?
8 × 7 = 56. If you know 4 × 7 = 28, double 28 to reach 56.
What is 8 × 8?
8 × 8 = 64. The number 64 is also the square of 8.
What is 8 × 9?
8 × 9 = 72. One shortcut is to start with 8 × 10 = 80 and subtract 8.
What is 8 × 11?
8 × 11 = 88. Start from 8 × 10 = 80 and add another 8.
What is 8 × 12?
8 × 12 = 96. You can calculate 8 × 10 = 80 and 8 × 2 = 16, then add 80 + 16.
What is a useful trick for multiplying by 8?
Double the other factor three times. For example, for 8 × 7, calculate 7 → 14 → 28 → 56.
How are the 4 and 8 times tables connected?
For the same multiplier, a product in the 8 times table is twice the corresponding product in the 4 times table. For example, 4 × 9 = 36 and 8 × 9 = 72.
