Fascinating Fact:

A train travels 7 kilometres in 5 minutes, and an express travels 8 times as far in the same time. The express travels 56 kilometres.

In 11 Plus Times Tables, the 8 times table helps with multiplication, division, and missing-number problems. Because 8 is a power of 2, you can often solve 8 times by doubling a number three times.

  • Double: To multiply by 2, for example doubling 9 gives 18.
  • Product: The answer to a multiplication, such as 8 × 6 = 48, where 48 is the product.
  • Inverse: An opposite operation that undoes another, so division is the inverse of multiplication.
What is the 8 times table?

The 8 times table is the set of multiplication facts made by multiplying numbers by 8, such as 8 × 4 = 32 and 8 × 9 = 72.

How do you work out 8 times a number quickly?

A quick method is to double three times. For 8 × 7, double 7 to 14, double again to 28, then double again to 56.

How can I check 8 times table answers using division?

Use the inverse: if 8 × 6 = 48, then 48 ÷ 8 = 6. Division checks whether your multiplication fact is correct.
