What is 8 × 6?
Answer
8 × 6 = 48
8 × 6 = 48 — one of the 45 multiplication facts that the times tables hold. Below: the addition behind it, the two divisions that undo it and the row it sits in.
Where the Answer Comes From
Multiplying is adding the same number over and over: 8 × 6 is 6 lots of 8.
8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 48
The Factors Can Be Swapped
6 × 8 comes to the same 48, because multiplication is commutative. The two are read differently — 8 × 6 is 6 lots of 8, 6 × 8 is 8 lots of 6 — and that is what makes swapping them a way to check the answer rather than a restatement of it.
6 × 8 = 48
The Divisions That Undo It
Division undoes multiplication, so this one fact gives two of them, and each checks the other.
Where It Sits in the Tables
The same fact appears in two rows of the grid — in the 8 times table and in the 6 times table. Knowing one row therefore covers part of the other.

FAQ
What is 8 × 6?
8 × 6 = 48
Is 6 × 8 the same as 8 × 6?
Yes — both come to 48, because multiplication is commutative. They are read differently, though: 8 × 6 is 6 lots of 8, and 6 × 8 is 8 lots of 6.
What divided by what gives 48?
48 ÷ 8 = 6 and 48 ÷ 6 = 8. Division undoes multiplication, so each of these two checks the other.
