While learning the 2-, 5-, and 10-times tables in year 2, children will begin learning the 8 times table in year 3. Then, children will learn how to construct and compute multiplication and division statements using the tables they already know. They should be able to memorize all times tables up to 12 by the end of Year 4.
The 8 times table shows what happens when you multiply eight by other whole numbers. Learning the 8 table helps children improve their memory skills, a transferable skill that will be useful to them both in school and life. Students who comprehend the table of eight typically have greater confidence in their mathematical abilities.

Tips to Master 8 Times Multiplication Table
The table of eight could seem intimidating and challenging, but we have several tips up our sleeves to make it enjoyable and straightforward.
Here are a few tips to make learning the 8 times multiplication table simple and quick.
( a ) There is a pattern for the last digits of the multiples of 8.
The units place of multiples of eight always has the same number of repeating digits. The table below shows that the final digits have the same pattern of 8, 6, 4, 2, and 0.
| 8 × 1 = 8 | 8 × 6 = 48 | 8 × 11 = 88 | 8 × 16 = 128 | 8 × 21 = 168 | 8 × 26 = 208 |
| 8 × 2 = 16 | 8 × 7 = 56 | 8 × 12 = 96 | 8 × 17 = 136 | 8 × 22 = 176 | 8 × 27 = 216 |
| 8 × 3 = 24 | 8 × 8 = 64 | 8 × 13 = 104 | 8 × 18 = 144 | 8 × 23 = 184 | 8 × 28 = 224 |
| 8 × 4 = 32 | 8 × 9 = 72 | 8 × 14 = 112 | 8 × 19 = 152 | 8 × 24 = 192 | 8 × 29 = 232 |
| 8 × 5 = 40 | 8 × 10 = 80 | 8 × 15 = 120 | 8 × 20 = 160 | 8 × 25 = 200 | 8 × 30 = 240 |
( b ) When multiplying by 8, the number 8 is continuously added.
Let us say, for example, that the number 8 is added three times when we say 8 times 3 (8 × 3).
Therefore, for additional examples using the eight times table,
| 8 × 10 = 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 80 |
| 8 × 11 = 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 88 |
| 8 × 12 = 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 96 |
| 8 × 13 = 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 104 |
| 8 × 14 = 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 112 |
| 8 × 15 = 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 120 |
( c ) The number 8 is triple of 2.
Multiplying the number 2 three times yields the number 8, 2×2×2=8.
So, 8×3 can be written as 2×2×2×3.
To simplify it, we have 4×6=24.
Hence, 8×3=24.
( d ) Double the 4 times table
To get the results of the table of 8, multiply the four times table by two or double the four times table.
The table below shows the 8 times multiplication table by doubling the answer in the 4 times multiplication table.
| 4 Times Table | Doubling 4 Times Table | 8 Times Table |
| 4 × 1 = 4 | 4 + 4 = 8 | 8 × 1 = 8 |
| 4 × 2 = 8 | 8 + 8 = 16 | 8 × 2 = 16 |
| 4 × 3 = 12 | 12 + 12 = 24 | 8 × 3 = 24 |
| 4 × 4 = 16 | 16 + 16 = 32 | 8 × 4 = 32 |
| 4 × 5 = 20 | 20 + 20 = 40 | 8 × 5 = 40 |
| 4 × 6 = 24 | 24 + 24 = 48 | 8 × 6 = 48 |
| 4 × 7 = 28 | 28 + 28 = 56 | 8 × 7 = 56 |
| 4 × 8 = 32 | 32 + 32 = 64 | 8 × 8 = 64 |
| 4 × 9 = 36 | 36 + 36 = 72 | 8 × 9 = 72 |
| 4 × 10 = 40 | 40 + 40 = 80 | 8 × 10 = 80 |
