10 × 8
80
10 rows of 8, or 8 rows of 10: both make 80.
- Turned round
- 8 × 10 = 80
- As division
- 80 ÷ 10 = 8

How this works
Method
Multiplying by 10 moves every digit one place to the left, into a column worth ten times as much, and a 0 fills the empty ones place: 10 × 7 = 70, 10 × 45 = 450. People say “add a zero”, which is right for whole numbers, but for decimals the digits still move: 10 × 4.5 = 45, not 4.50. Full method

Patterns and tricks in the 10 times table
Multiplying by 10 moves every digit one place to the left, into a column worth ten times as much, and a 0 fills the empty ones place: 10 × 7 = 70, 10 × 45 = 450. People say “add a zero”, which is right for whole numbers, but for decimals the digits still move: 10 × 4.5 = 45, not 4.50.
Because it is so quick, the 10 table is the anchor for others. Nine lots is ten lots minus one (9 × 6 = 60 − 6), eleven lots is ten lots plus one (11 × 6 = 60 + 6), and five lots is half of ten lots (5 × 6 = 30).
Dividing by 10 moves the digits back the other way: 340 ÷ 10 = 34. Every 10-table answer ends in 0, and every whole number ending in 0 is in the 10 table.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 10 times table up to 12?
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110 and 120.
Is multiplying by 10 the same as adding a zero?
For whole numbers it gives the same result. For decimals it does not: 10 × 0.3 is 3, not 0.30. Thinking of the digits moving one place left works every time.
How do I use the 10 times table to work out other tables?
Start from ten lots and adjust: take one lot away for the 9s, add one lot for the 11s, halve it for the 5s, and add two lots for the 12s.
