+ Every odd perfect number has at least 8 distinct prime factors. [Hagis]

+ 8 times the 8th prime has a digit sum of 8.

+ A prime quadruple is four consecutive primes, such that the first and last differ by 8.

+ - 1 + 23 * 45678 is prime. [Kulsha]

+ The smallest number which is the sum of two distinct odd primes.

+ The rightmost nonzero digit in 4013! (4013 is prime!) is 8. [Ottens]

+ The smallest cube which is the sum of a twin prime pair (3 + 5). [Trotter]

+ The smallest number which is both a sum of prime squares and a prime cube (8 = 22 + 22 = 23). [Kulsha]

+ The absolute difference between two odd prime squares is always a multiple of 8. [Capelle]

+ A Gaussian prime is a Gaussian integer p with exactly 8 divisors. [Smith]

+ Left-truncatable primes p of length n with the additional property that no prime with length n + 1 can have its leftmost digit removed to produce p are called Henry VIII primes.

+ 8 ones plus 8 is prime. [Opao]

+ 8 is the smallest sum of two factorials of distinct primes (2! + 3!). [Gevisier]

+ The largest number in which n is exactly twice pi(n). [Murthy]

+ Let p and q be odd primes. If p divides 2q - 1, then p = 1 (mod q) and p = + 1 (mod 8).

+ The largest composite number such that all its proper divisors + 1 are primes. [Murthy]

+ (108 - 8)/8 is prime. [Luhn]

+ (108+8 - 8)/8 is also prime. Thanks Mr. Luhn! [Poo Sung]

+ The first 'not possible' occurrence of summing k consecutive primes such that the total is prime happens when k = 8. [De Geest]

+ No Fibonacci number greater than 8 is ever of the form p-1 or p+1 where p is a prime number. [Honsberger]

+ The smallest composite Fibonacci number. [Gupta]

+ The 8th Fibonacci number plus and minus 8 is prime, i.e., F(8)-8 and F(8)+8 are primes. It is the smallest Fibonacci number to have this property. [Opao]

+ The product of the first k nonzero Fibonacci numbers + 1 is prime for k = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.

+ Eight eights raised to the eighth power plus one is prime. I.e., 88888888^8 + 1 is prime. [Opao]

+ The first difference between consecutive primes of 8 is after 8*11+1. This is the last maximal gap of 4 consecutive even numbers. [Nicholson]

+ (8^8+88888)/8 is prime. Note that eight 8s are used. [Firoozbakht]

+ (pi(0)! + pi(1)! + ... + pi(k)!) is prime only for k = 1,2,..,8 (composite for k>8). [Firoozbakht]

+ 8 is the smallest composite number which can be represented as sum of two primes (i.e., 3 + 5) as well as sum of two composite numbers (i.e., 4 + 4). [Capelle]

+ 8 is the only single-digit cube of a prime. [Silva]

+ Let R(n) = (10n - 1)/9 and Tn = the nth triangular number. The first 8 numbers generated by the formula TR(n) + 1 are prime. [Wesolowski]

+ The only composite digit that is not a semiprime. [Silva]

+ The only even digit that neither prime nor semiprime. [Silva]

+ For n > 8, prime(n) > pi(n) + sigma(n), so 8 is the only number n such that prime(n) = pi(n) + sigma(n). [Firoozbakht]

+ The number of autobiographical primes is composite, but the number of autobiographical composites is prime. [Capelle]
