8 times table

The 8 times table is what you get when you skip-count by 8s: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96. Each answer is double the matching answer in the 4 times table.

8 Times Table

  • 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

What we worked out for the 8s

  • Facts still to learn: if a child already knows the tables below 8 and the 10s, the 8 times table up to 8 × 12 has only 4 new facts: 8 × 8, 8 × 9, 8 × 11 and 8 × 12. The rest are facts from the earlier tables in reverse order (8 × 2 is 2 × 8) or from the 10s.
  • England's multiplication tables check: the 25-question test in Year 4 has 2 to 4 questions from the 8 times table. The framework names the 8s as one of the five hardest tables, so they get more questions than most.
  • A one-page sheet: the table above prints on one page of US Letter or A4. Choose a complete table, a version with the answers left blank in order, or a shuffled version with its own answer key. You can also add the division facts.

On September 25, 2026, the top five Google results for "8 times table" (US) were Timestables.com, DoodleLearning, Cuemath, MathMultiplicationTables.com and BBC Bitesize. We read all five. They list the table and give tips, and some add games or printable charts. None says how many questions in England's check come from the 8s, and none counts the facts still left to learn; DoodleLearning points out some facts a child already knows but stops there.

Patterns in the 8 times table

  • Every answer is even, and the ones digits count down by 2: 8, 6, 4, 2, 0, then repeat.
  • Each answer is double the 4 times table answer, which is double the 2 times table answer: 2 × 7 = 14, 4 × 7 = 28, 8 × 7 = 56.
  • To multiply by 8, you can also multiply by 10 and subtract twice the number: 8 × 7 = 70 − 14 = 56.

Row 8 and column 8 hold the same answers: 8 × 7 and 7 × 8 are both 56. You can print the multiplication chart with the 8s shaded.

A memory trick: double three times

Double the number, double again, double a third time. 8 × 7: 14, 28, 56. 8 × 6: 12, 24, 48.

Common Core 3.OA.B.5 gives another way to find 8 × 7, by splitting 7 into 5 and 2: "Knowing that 8 × 5 = 40 and 8 × 2 = 16, one can find 8 × 7 as 8 × (5 + 2) = (8 × 5) + (8 × 2) = 40 + 16 = 56. (Distributive property.)"

Mix-ups to watch for

These wrong answers are easy to give because each one is a real answer from a nearby fact, or looks like one.

  • 8 × 7 = 54? No. The slip: 54 is 6 × 9, and both facts are among the last ones learned. Check: the ones digits run 8, 6, 4, 2, 0, 8, 6, so 8 × 7 ends in 6: it is 56.
  • 8 × 8 = 72? No. The slip: 72 is the next answer (8 × 9). 64 is a square number and is often learned separately. Check: double 8 three times: 16, 32, 64.
  • 8 × 6 = 42? No. The slip: 42 is 6 × 7, a neighboring fact. Check: 8 × 6 ends in 8 (the cycle 8, 6, 4, 2, 0, 8): 48.

The 8 times table and division

Dividing by 8 is halving three times. 56 ÷ 8: 28, 14, 7. So 56 ÷ 8 = 7, because 8 × 7 = 56.

A multiplication fact with two different numbers gives two division facts: because 8 × 7 = 56, 56 ÷ 8 = 7 and 56 ÷ 7 = 8. Here are the twelve division facts for dividing by 8:

To print them, choose Division (or Both, side by side) under Facts in the sheet above. The division chart shows every divisor from 1 to 12.

When children learn the 8s

  • United States: Common Core 3.OA.C.7 expects that by the end of Grade 3 children "know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers", which covers 8 × 1 to 8 × 9. 8 × 10, 8 × 11 and 8 × 12 go beyond the standard.
  • England: the 8s belong to Year 3, when the national curriculum says pupils should "recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 3, 4 and 8 multiplication tables". By the end of Year 4, pupils should know all the tables up to 12 × 12.
  • The multiplication tables check (Year 4, June) counts a question as part of the table named first: "the first number in the question will denote the multiplication table the question is part of, for example, 4 × 12 would be considered part of the 4 multiplication table." The framework also says: "There is an emphasis on the 6, 7, 8, 9 and 12 multiplication tables because these have been determined to be the most difficult multiplication tables."
