The 8 times table from 1 to 20
8 × 1 through 8 × 9 belong to the core facts — every product of two one-digit numbers — that US standards expect students to know from memory by the end of third grade. Each row also gives the matching division fact.

|---|---|---|
| 8 × 1 | 8 | 8 ÷ 8 = 1 |
| 8 × 2 | 16 | 16 ÷ 8 = 2 |
| 8 × 3 | 24 | 24 ÷ 8 = 3 |
| 8 × 4 | 32 | 32 ÷ 8 = 4 |
| 8 × 5 | 40 | 40 ÷ 8 = 5 |
| 8 × 6 | 48 | 48 ÷ 8 = 6 |
| 8 × 7 | 56 | 56 ÷ 8 = 7 |
| 8 × 8 | 64 | 64 ÷ 8 = 8 |
| 8 × 9 | 72 | 72 ÷ 8 = 9 |
| 8 × 10 | 80 | 80 ÷ 8 = 10 |
| 8 × 11 | 88 | 88 ÷ 8 = 11 |
| 8 × 12 | 96 | 96 ÷ 8 = 12 |
| 8 × 13 | 104 | 104 ÷ 8 = 13 |
| 8 × 14 | 112 | 112 ÷ 8 = 14 |
| 8 × 15 | 120 | 120 ÷ 8 = 15 |
| 8 × 16 | 128 | 128 ÷ 8 = 16 |
| 8 × 17 | 136 | 136 ÷ 8 = 17 |
| 8 × 18 | 144 | 144 ÷ 8 = 18 |
| 8 × 19 | 152 | 152 ÷ 8 = 19 |

Patterns in the 8 times table
- Last digits. The ones digits repeat every 5 steps: 8, 6, 4, 2, 0, then 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 again. Only 5 different endings ever appear.
- Even answers. 8 is even, so every product in its table is even.
- Digit sums. Reduce each answer to a single digit (8 × 1 to 8 × 9 give 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 9) and all nine values appear before repeating.
- Built from a smaller table. 8 = 2 × 4, so every answer is double the matching answer in the 4 times table: 8 × 7 = 2 × 28 = 56.
A shortcut for multiplying by 8
Double three times: 8 × 7 → 14 → 28 → 56.
Worked example: 8 × 14
Split 14 into 10 + 4: 8 × 10 = 80 and 8 × 4 = 32, so 8 × 14 = 112.
