• The multiples of 8 are numbers that can be divided exactly by 8, leaving no remainder.
• The first few multiples of 8 are the numbers in the 8 times table.
• For example 2 × 8 = 16 and so, the second multiple of eight is 16.
• For example 100 × 8 = 800 and so, the hundredth multiple of 8 is 800.
• A number is a multiple of 8 if it can be halved, halved and halved again to leave a whole number.
• For example, 24 is a multiple of 8 because half of 24 is 12, half of 12 is 6 and half of 6 is 3.

A multiple of 8 is any number that can be divided by 8 exactly, leaving no remainder.

What are Multiples of 8?

Multiples of 8 are numbers that can be divided exactly by 8. Multiples of 8 are found by counting up in eights. The first few multiples of 8 are: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88 and 96.

The first few multiples of 8 are the numbers in the 8 times table. Here is a list of the first twelve multiples of 8:

To teach the multiples of 8, place the numbers on a number grid. We can count on in eights from one number to the next. Here are the multiples of 8 shown on the chart:

To learn the multiples of 8, it can help to look for patterns in the positions of the numbers on the chart.

We can see that the multiples of 8 form diagonal patterns on the chart.

Multiples of 8 always end in 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8. Multiples of 8 are always even numbers.

To test if a number is a multiple of 8, half it three times. If the result is a whole number, the number is a multiple of 8. If the result is not a whole number, the number is not a multiple of 8.

For example, we can halve 88 three times in a row. Half of 88 is 44, half of 44 is 22 and half of 22 is 11. 11 is a whole number and so, 88 is a multiple of 8.

20 is not a multiple of 8. It cannot be halved three times to leave a whole number. For example, half of 20 is 10, half of 10 is 5 but half of 5 is 2.5. 2.5 is not a whole number and so, 20 is not a multiple of 8.

All multiples of 8 are also multiples of 4. This is because 4 divides exactly into 8.
