How do you tell if a number is divisible by 8

If the number is a multiple of 8, it is divisible by 8.
The multiples of 8 are: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88... etc.

If a number is very big, let's say 176, see if you can deduct 80 from it. For this, 176 can be deducted by 80 twice, which will give you a remainder of 16 (I.e. 176 - 80 - 80 = 16". If this remainder (i.e. 16) is divisible by 8, 176 is divisible by 8.

For even larger numbers, try deducting 800, or even 8000.

Let's say you're trying to see if 2464 is divisible by 8. In this case, 2464 can be deducted by 800 thrice (I.e. 2464 - 800 - 800 - 800 = 64), and 64 is its remainder. Since 64 is divisible by 8, 2464 is divisible by 8.

Hope this helps! :)
