Fascinating Fact:

The Great Wall of China (21 000 km) is about eight times longer than the distance from London to Istanbul (about 2 600 km).

In KS3 Maths Times Tables, the 8 times table strengthens mental strategies across topics. Think of 8 as 2 × 2 × 2: double three times. For example, 9 × 8 = double of 36 = 72. Use skip-counting (8, 16, 24, 32…) and check answers by reversing with division.

  • Multiple: A result in a times table; for 8 it’s 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, …
  • Factor: A whole number that divides another exactly; 8 is a factor of 56 because 56 ÷ 8 = 7.
  • Product: The answer to a multiplication, for example 8 × 7 has the product 56.

What is the fastest way to learn the 8 times table?

Use the “double, double, double” method. Since 8 = 2 × 2 × 2, double a known fact three times and practise skip-counting: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40…

How can I work out 8 × bigger numbers in my head?

Split the number: 8 × 37 = 8 × (30 + 7) = 240 + 56 = 296. This uses the distributive property.

How do I divide by 8 using times tables?

Use inverses. If 8 × 9 = 72, then 72 ÷ 8 = 9. You can also halve three times: 88 ÷ 8 = 88 ÷ 2 ÷ 2 ÷ 2 = 11.
