8 Times Table

The trick for the 8 times table is to double three times: 8 × 7 is 7 doubled to 14, doubled to 28, doubled again to 56. This page opens the multiplication table with the 8 row lit, writes out 8 × 1 to 8 × 12 = 96 with the working for each fact, and prints as a clean sheet. Choose a larger grid up to 30 to read more products across row 8; the worked list always stops at ×12. Small screens may need sideways scrolling.

the 8 times table

Any whole number from 1 to 30 in the size box redraws the grid. The grid scrolls sideways on narrow screens. Print gives the grid and twelve worked 8 times table facts. Copy as text puts the grid on the clipboard with tabs between the cells, so it pastes into a spreadsheet as cells.

Common questions

What is the trick for the 8 times table?
To multiply by 8, double the number three times: 7 doubled is 14, then 28, then 56. Take 8 × 6: 6 doubled is 12, then 24, then 48.
What is 8 × 7?
8 × 7 = 56. Double 7 three times: 14, 28, 56. Or remember 5, 6, 7, 8: 56 = 7 × 8. Or take 8 × 10 = 80 and take away three 8s: 80 minus 24 is 56.
What pattern do the answers in the 8 times table follow?
Every answer is even and the last digits count down by two: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 end in 8, 6, 4, 2, 0, then 48, 56, 64, 72, 80 repeat the run, then 88 and 96. The 8 times table is the 4 times table doubled and the 2 times table doubled twice, so 8 × 9 is 4 × 9 = 36 doubled, 72.
Can I print the 8 times table?
Yes. Press Print, or use your browser's own print command, and only the table prints: the full grid with the 8 row shaded when the selected grid includes it, then the 8 times table written out as 12 facts with the working beside each one. The headings, buttons and this text are left off. Choose PDF as the printer to save it as a file instead.
How is this page different from the full multiplication table?
It is the same grid with the 8 row lit from the start, and the 8 times table written out underneath with the trick applied to each fact, so 8 × 1 to 8 × 12 can be read down one column. Move over any other cell and its row and column light up as well, with the fact in the Highlight readout, but the 8 row stays lit and the facts below stay the 8 times table. The full table, with any size from 1 to 30, is on the multiplication table page.
Can I read the 8 times table through ×20?
Yes. Choose 20 in the size controls and read across row 8 to column 20: 8 × 20 = 160. The grid can run through ×30, while the separate worked list stays at ×12. If you choose a grid smaller than 8, that row is outside it but the twelve facts still appear below. This is a completed reference chart, with no blank worksheet, flash cards, quiz or song.
Where can I get a times table quiz or exercise worksheet?
Use Multiplication Practice for a quiz: set First factor minimum and maximum to 8, Second factor minimum to 1 and maximum to 12, then choose a question count and duration (0 is untimed). Math Worksheet Maker makes exercise sheets: choose Multiplication, First factor 8, Second factor 1 to 12, then save the PDF sheet and answer key. It also accepts selected tables such as 2, 5, 10. Both tools are linked below. They provide original practice rather than an official school assessment.

Exact. Every cell is the product of its row and column.
