Is the product of $7$ and any other number always odd or even?

It alternates. $7 \times 1 = 7$ (odd), $7 \times 2 = 14$ (even), $7 \times 3 = 21$ (odd), and so on. If you multiply $7$ by an odd number, the result is odd. If you multiply by an even number, the result is even.

Remembering $7 \times 8 = 56$ is often tricky. What's a good way to remember it?

Think of the numbers in order: $5, 6, 7, 8$. The answer to $7 \times 8$ is $56$!
