of all the 2 digit multiples of 8, only 72 fits.

72 = 9 x 8 = (7+2) x 8

2. 16/7
3. 24/6 = 4
4. 32/5
5. 40/4
6. 48/12 = 4
7. 56/11
8. 64/10
9. 72/9 = 8
10. 80/8 = 10
11. 88/16
12. 96/15

I never thought of the brute force method! grin

Here's another way of setting it up algebraically...
10x + y = 8(x + y) --------the 10 represents the tens position in a number
10x + y = 8x + 8y
2x = 7y

@wallie how do you determine x and y from 2x = 7y The "brute force method" seems most ideal.
