Understanding the 8 Times Table Chart
The 8 times table chart, also known as the 8 multiplication chart or 8x tables chart, displays all products of 8 multiplied by numbers 1 through 12 and beyond. As one of the higher times tables, the 8 table chart is essential for Year 4 students and anyone building strong multiplication skills. The key to mastering the 8 times table is understanding the powerful doubling strategy: since 8 is double 4, which is double 2, you can use repeated doubling to calculate any 8× fact.
Why the 8 Times Table Chart Matters:
- Doubling mastery: Understanding 8× builds number sense through doubling
- Required knowledge: Part of UK Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check
- Real-world use: Octaves in music, groups of 8, measurement conversions
- Mental math: Quick calculations using the doubling strategy
- Division skills: Knowing 8× helps with division by 8
- Pattern recognition: Even number patterns strengthen math reasoning

The Powerful Doubling Strategy
🎯 Master 8× Through Triple Doubling!
Since 8 = 2 × 2 × 2, multiply by doubling THREE times:
Example: 8 × 6
Step 1 - First Double: 6 × 2 = 12
Step 2 - Second Double: 12 × 2 = 24
Step 3 - Third Double: 24 × 2 = 48 ✓
Or use the 4 times table: 8×6 = (4×6)×2 = 24×2 = 48
Doubling Examples
- 8 × 3: Start with 3 → double to 6 → double to 12 → double to 24
- 8 × 7: Start with 7 → double to 14 → double to 28 → double to 56
- 8 × 9: Start with 9 → double to 18 → double to 36 → double to 72
- 8 × 12: Start with 12 → double to 24 → double to 48 → double to 96

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 8 times table chart?
The 8 times table chart is a multiplication reference showing products of 8 multiplied by numbers 1-12 (and beyond): 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, 8×10=80, 8×11=88, 8×12=96. It's also called the 8 multiplication chart or 8x tables chart.
What is the easiest trick for learning the 8 times table?
The easiest trick for the 8 times table is the doubling strategy: double your number three times. For 8×6, start with 6, double to 12, double to 24, double to 48. Alternatively, if you know the 4 times table, simply double it (8×6 = 4×6 doubled = 24×2 = 48).
What pattern does the 8 multiplication chart follow?
The 8 multiplication chart follows a units digit pattern of 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 that repeats every 5 multiples. All products are even numbers. The backward counting trick also reveals a pattern: writing 8,7,6,5,4,4,3,2,1,0 with 0,2,4,6,8,0,2,4,6,8 creates the 8 times table backwards.
What is an 8 multiples chart?
An 8 multiples chart lists all numbers that are multiples of 8 (divisible by 8). It shows: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, 104, 112, 120, and continues infinitely. Any number in this sequence is a product of 8 and another whole number.
How is the 8 table chart related to the 4 times table?
The 8 table chart is exactly double the 4 times table. Since 8 = 4 × 2, every answer in the 8 times table is twice the corresponding 4 times table answer. Example: 4×7=28, so 8×7=56 (which is 28×2). This relationship makes learning the 8× facts much easier if you already know the 4× facts.
What is the 8 chart multiplication backward trick?
The 8 chart multiplication backward trick: Write 8,7,6,5,4,4,3,2,1,0 (tens digits, counting down with 4 appearing twice), then write 0,2,4,6,8,0,2,4,6,8 (ones digits, counting by 2s). Read as two-digit numbers from left to right to get 08, 72, 64, 56, 48, 40, 32, 24, 16, 08—the 8 times table in reverse!
Why are all answers in the 8 times table even?
All answers in the 8 times table chart are even because 8 itself is an even number. When you multiply any number by an even number, the result is always even. The units digits cycle through 8, 6, 4, 2, 0—all even digits—proving that every multiple of 8 is an even number.
How do you use the 8x tables chart for division?
The 8x tables chart helps with division by 8. To solve 64÷8, look in the chart for 64 (the product), then check which multiplier produces it—you'll find 8×8=64, so 64÷8=8. This demonstrates the inverse relationship between multiplication and division.
What's the hardest fact in the 8 times table?
Most students find 8×7=56 and 8×8=64 the trickiest facts in the 8 time tables chart. Remember: "Seven eights are fifty-six, like picking up sticks" and "Eight eights are sixty-four, open up the door." The doubling strategy helps: 7→14→28→56 and 8→16→32→64.
Can I print the 8 times table chart?
Yes! You can print the 8 times table chart directly from this page using your browser's print function (Ctrl+P or Cmd+P). Create a physical reference sheet for your desk, laminate it for durability, or keep multiple copies for practice. A printed chart is perfect for offline learning and quick reference.
Tips for Mastering the 8 Times Table
Proven Learning Strategies:
