$160 + 48 or 200 + 8 or 176 + 32$ $160 + 48 " or " 200 + 8 " or " 176 + 32$

$= 208$ $=208$

In $8 (26) 8 \times 26 = ?$ $8(26) " "8 xx 26 = ?$

Write 26 in way that you will easily know the multiples.

$8 \times (20 + 6) = 8 \times 20 + 8 \times 6$ $8 xx (20 +6) = 8 xx20 + 8 xx6$
= $160 + 48$ $160 + 48$
= $208$ $208$

Or perhaps

$8 \times (25 + 1) = 8 \times 25 + 8 \times 1$ $8 xx (25 + 1) = 8 xx25 + 8 xx 1$

= $200 + 8 = 208$ $200+8 = 208$

Or even

$8 \times (22 + 4) = 8 \times 22 + 8 \times 4$ $8 xx (22 + 4) = 8 xx22 + 8 xx 4$

= $176 + 32 = 208$ $176 + 32 = 208$
