What are Multiples of 8?
A number is called a multiple of 8 if it is completely divisible by 8 with the remainder zero.
For example, 8 divides 16 completely, so by the definition 16 is a multiple of 8. Similarly, 8, 16, 24, 32, 80, 800, etc. are all examples of multiples of 8 as they are completely divisible 8.
Remark: From the above definition, it is clear that any multiple of 8 can be written as 8n for some integer n. So the set of multiples of 8 is given by
{8n: n is an integer}
