Patterns that help
The last digits go 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 and then repeat.
8 is even, so every multiple of 8 is even too.
A quick check: Halve it three times. If you still have a whole number, it is a multiple of 8. 96 halves to 48, then 24, then 12, so 96 is a multiple of 8.
Building the list from facts you know: Double three times. For 8 × 7: double 7 is 14, double 14 is 28, and double 28 is 56.
