Multiplying Consecutive Integers By 8:A. There is a pattern that develops when multiplying consecutive integers by 8. 1. This method works only if you are multiplying increasing consecutive integers (MUST start with 1) by 8 and adding the last digit back. 2. The answer will be in the form: 987...., where the number of digits is equal to the number of digits be multiplied by. Ex [1] 1234 x 8 + 4 = __________. a. Since there are 4 digits we write 9876. (Notice there are only 4 digits in the answer.) b. The answer is 9876. Ex [2] 12345678 x 8 + 8 = __________. a. Since there are 8 digits we write 98765432. b. The answer is 98765432. B. As in the case with Multiplying By 9 (#1) and Multiplying By 9 (#2) you must be careful that the number added is equal to the last digit. |
