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]

(8^8+88888)/8 is prime. Note that eight 8s are used. [Firoozbakht]
(π(0)! + π(1)! + ... + π(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]
Let R(n) = (10n - 1)/9 and Tn = the nth triangular number,
then P(n) = TR(n) + 1 generates primes for n = 1 through 8. [Wesolowski]
The only composite digit that is not a semiprime. [Silva]
For n > 8, prime(n) > π(n) + sigma(n), so 8 is the
only number n such that prime(n) = π(n) + sigma(n). [Firoozbakht]
The number of autobiographical primes is composite, but the
number of autobiographical composites is prime. [Capelle]
The only known n such that the number of nonalternating
knots with n crossings is prime. When n=8, there are 3 such
knots. [Post]

that David Hilbert believed should set the course for the
mathematical explorers of the twentieth century.
prime(8) = sigma(8) + phi(8). It is the largest number with
this property. [Firoozbakht]
8 is the smallest cube that is the sum of two consecutive
Sophie Germain primes (3 + 5). Can you find the next cube
with this property? [Gaydos]
The second smallest Fibonacci number equal to the sum of two consecutive Fibonacci primes: 8 = 3 + 5. [Rivera]
The only known cube that is the sum of the first n odd
primes (3+5=8). [Bajpai]
The only integer that can be expressed as the average of first n consecutive right-truncatable primes, (n=5), i.e., (2+3+5+7+23)/5. [Loungrides]

The digital root of product of twin primes, except (3, 5). [Gupta]
8 is the last digit to appear in both a prime number and
its prime index, first appearing in 787 and 138. The other
9 digits all first appear in smaller prime-prime index
