About Multiples of 8

In this quiz on multiples of 8 each question is a division with a gap: ? ÷ 8 = 5, ? ÷ 8 = 7… and you have to choose the missing number from several options. To get it right you have to flip the 8 times table: if the result is 5, the hidden number is 8 × 5 = 40.

Tips for playing better: Multiples of 8

Double it three times: multiplying by 8 means doubling, doubling and doubling again. For 8 × 7: 7 → 14 → 28 → 56.
Look at the last digit: multiples of 8 end following the cycle 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 (8, 16, 24, 32, 40) and then it repeats (48, 56, 64, 72, 80). If an option is odd, rule it out: it can never be a multiple of 8.
Remember the phrase «5, 6, 7, 8»: 56 = 7 × 8. It's exactly the result people forget most.
Lean on the 4 times table: each multiple of 8 is double the one for 4 (8 × 6 = 2 × 24 = 48).
