The total number of possible three-digit numbers using the digits 1 to 8 is 8^3 (since each digit can be one of 8 possibilities, and there are three digits). The number of favorable outcomes (numbers where all digits are the same) is 8 (111, 222, ..., 888). Therefore, the probability is 8/(8^3) = 8/512 = 1/64 = 0.015625, which rounds to 0.016.
