What Are The Multiples Of 8? [Solved] - Cuemath

Multiples of 8

Did you know there is only one multiple of 8 in the subsequent tens, except when the units place is a zero (40 and 80 are an example)? However, multiples of 8 follow a pattern of 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 in the unit's place. In this mini-lesson, we will calculate the multiples of 8 and learn interesting facts about these multiples.

• First five multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40
• Prime factorization of 8: 8 = 2 × 2 × 2 = 23

What Are the Multiples of 8?

Do you remember the multiplication tables? Let us see how it helps us understand the meaning of multiples while we list the first five multiples of the number 8.

The first five multiples of 8 are 8, 16, 24, 32, and 40. You can see that the multiples of 8 are in the table of 8. The multiples of 8 are all the numbers that result from the multiplication of 8 by another whole number or integer. Basically, a sequence goes on where the numbers are of the form 8n and the difference between each succeeding number and the preceding number is 8.

Any number that can be of the form 8n where n is a natural number, is a multiple of 8. Multiple of 8 = 8n (where n is any natural number). We can also use division to find out if a number is a multiple of another. For example, 80 ÷ 8 = 10 signifies 80 is a multiple of 8.

List of First 30 Multiples of 8

Here are the first 30 multiples of 8:

8	16	24	32	40	48	56	64	72	80
88	96	104	112	120	128	136	144	152	160
168	176	184	192	200	208	216	224	232	240

To understand the concept of finding multiples, let us take a few more examples.

• Multiples of 9 - The first five multiples of 9 are 9, 18, 27, 36, 45
• Multiples of 2 - The first five multiples of 2 are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 
• Multiples of 18 - The first five multiples of 18 are 18, 36, 54, 72, 90
• Multiples of 4 - The first five multiples of 4 are 4, 8, 12, 16, 20
• Multiples of 7 - The first five multiples of 7 are 7, 14, 21, 28, 35

Important Notes:

• The first and smallest multiple of any number is the number itself.
• Every multiple of a number is greater than or equal to the number itself.
• If a number is a multiple of another, it will divide exactly, not leaving any remainder.

Challenging Questions:

• I am a multiple of 8 as well as a multiple of 9. As far as my position is concerned, I come between 200 and 300. Guess which number am I?
• I am a multiple of 8, 9, and 15. I am greater than 300 but less than 400. Guess which number am I?
