The 8 times table is one of the harder tables, but it is built from repeated doubling. If you know the 4 times table well, you only need one more doubling step.

Double three times
8 × a number is that number doubled three times. 8 × 7: 7 → 14 → 28 → 56. Three small steps, no complicated calculation.
10 times minus 2 times
8 × a number = 10 × that number − 2 × that number. 8 × 6 = 60 − 12 = 48. Especially useful for 8 × 9: 90 − 18 = 72.
Even, ending in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8
All answers are even. More specifically: 8 × 1 through 8 × 5 end in 8, 6, 4, 2, 0; then the pattern repeats (8, 6, 4, 2, 0). A nice way to check your work.
Children typically learn the multiplication tables in Grades 2 and 3 (ages 7–9). The tables of 2, 5 and 10 are taught first, then 3, 4 and 6, and finally the harder tables of 7, 8 and 9. Most children know all tables up to 10 by the end of Grade 3.
What is 8 × 7?+
8 × 7 = 56. Double 7 three times: 7 → 14 → 28 → 56. Or: 10 × 7 − 2 × 7 = 70 − 14 = 56.
How do you learn the 8 times table?+
Build it from the 2 and 4 times tables. 8 = 2 × 2 × 2, so every answer is three doublings. Then drill the hard anchor facts: 8 × 7 = 56, 8 × 8 = 64 and 8 × 9 = 72.
Which fact in the 8 times table is most often missed?+
8 × 7 = 56 and 8 × 6 = 48 are the classics. Memorise them as anchor facts — most other answers you can compute via doubling or the 10 times table.
What grade do children learn the 8 times table?+
The 8 times table is taught in Grade 3, alongside the other harder tables.
