Multiples of 8
Multiples of 8 are what you get when you multiply 8 by whole numbers. Common multiples of two numbers lead to the LCM.
Skip-counting keeps the last-digit rhythm of 8: the first ten multiples end in 8, 6, 4, 2, 0, 8, 6, 4, 2, 0. The first ten also pair to 88 in five pairs (8 + 80, 16 + 72, …) — the same numbers the multiplication table shows under other names. Every multiple shown keeps the even parity of 8 — the column never leaves it. The tenth multiple is the place-value shift: 80 is just 8 with a zero appended, since multiplying by ten always moves one place left. First common multiple with 2: 8, right here in row 1; with 3: 24 (row 3).
